Maintaining Relationships With Other People

Welcome back to The Dynamics of Everyday Life, where we delve into the art and science of maintaining relationships. This episode shines a light on our very own defence mechanisms. From the comfort of our everyday friendships, to the challenge of navigating stormy relational seas in metaphorical high heels and a bikini, we're exploring the common thread in all our relationships: ourselves. Join us as we unpack how our unconscious mind, with all of its defence mechanisms, plays a pivotal role in either bridging or building barriers between us and others. Ready to dive deep?
