This week we dissect coping skills and defense mechanisms. We dig to the root meaning of each and discuss what role they play in our day to day lives. We discuss internal & external stressors, the process of identifying effective coping mechanisms, healthy vs unhealthy coping skills, and share some of our personal techniques for managing stress. Do our identified coping skills and defense mechanisms have a direct correlation with how we were raised? Listen to this episode to find out what we think!
