In this episode of "Ask the Expert," Peggy, a childhood trauma survivor, former therapist, and author, joins the host to discuss coping mechanisms. The conversation delves into the unconscious ways we develop coping mechanisms early in life and how they continue to impact us into adulthood. Peggy explains the concepts of denial, avoidance, minimization, and rationalization, highlighting how these coping mechanisms manifest and the importance of awareness in recognizing and changing them.
Tune in to gain insights into understanding and transforming coping mechanisms, the impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior, and the significance of self-awareness in healing and growth.
