Episode 4 - Becoming the Observer of Your Actions How we use Defence Mechanisms

If we look at our life we realise it is made up of stories. We have a story around who we are, what we look like, how many children we have etc. These are our stories and they are neither right nor wrong they are what they are our life stories. Sometimes we tell a story that while we feel is real to ourselves is actually one we have made up or formulated because of life situations and how we behaved in relation to those situations. Oftentimes we use defence mechanisms to hide our true thoughts and feelings. Here we look at the common defence mechanisms we use and an easy exercise on how to find out if these defences are holding us back.
