264 Top Ego Defense Mechanisms

Top Ego Defense Mechanisms on The Terri Cole Show

Words like “denial” and “projecting” are thrown around a lot in casual conversation these days. These terms address psychological defense mechanisms. However, I think that some of these terms are commonly misunderstood.

On today’s episode, I go over the top ego defense mechanisms, and I clarify what they actually mean. I talk specifically about repression, denial, projection, displacement, sublimation, reaction formation, and intellectualization. I hope these definitions and examples help you understand your own psychological defense processes.

    Hello everyone, I appreciate this episode on defense mechanisms. I’m seeking to become aware of which ones I may using.

    This season of my life had been focused on leveling up. I invest a great deal of time on information and have started to increase the action pieces to build some sort of life coaching business. It’s been so slow going … as if I don’t really want to do it. I chose low paying harder physical jobs instead of moving faster in coaching direction.

    Anyway- again, I’m seeking through meditation and body awareness to become aware of my blind spots.
