In this episode, we explore the 9 key defence mechanisms that were identified by Sigmund and Anna Freud. Looking at examples such as Denial, Displacement, Repression, and Suppression to name a few, we look into why we use defence mechanisms, the theory behind their purpose and if they are considered beneficial or problematic.
