Every ego constructs a personality during the early stages of childhood. The personality is like a mental shield built for protection. When these defenses are working correctly, we don’t notice them. They are blind spots to Self-Awareness. In other words, most adults are unconscious of the mental and emotional reactivity that is assembled as their personality.
Psychological defenses make it difficult to be present long enough to heal trauma, make rational, intelligent choices, and maintain meaningful intimacy and enjoyment of life.
Because most of us experience physical, emotional, and mental trauma that isn’t healed when it happens, our defenses become more rigid. This means we become more unconscious of our inner suffering over time. Insecurity, confusion, worry, negative expectations, self-doubt, paranoia, self-judgment, and self-hatred are some of the many symptoms people endure due to malfunctioning defense mechanisms.
This class explores:
• Understanding and recognizing the core personality defenses: Denial, projection, sublimation, repression, and suppression. • Discover what triggers your defenses. • What do you need to feel safe and secure when something stressful arises. • Learn and practice how to interact with others in a mature, open, natural and authentic way. • Discover your unique set of core values that will strengthen your character. • Learn to dis-identify from your childhood story.
