Ep43 | Psychological Defenses Against Emotion

We all have coping strategies to protect our hearts and defend against fear, pain, and uncertainty. Bringing attention to these parts of ourselves and choosing to use these tools consciously is key when it comes to growing self-compassion, and leaning into love and trust in relationships. In today's episode we go through the list of psychological defenses against emotions as presented in Dr. Raja Selvam's book The Practice of Embodying Emotions. ************************************************************************ Every episode comes with prompts for journaling and reflection.
