Managing Your Difficult
Emotions
1) Defense Mechanisms- (full list on pg. 81)
– Mental processes that protect individuals from strong or
stressful emotions and situations.
• Sometimes you may use defense mechanisms
unconsciously as a way to protect yourself from
intense emotional pain.
• You may not even be aware you are using them.
Relying on defense mechanisms too
long can keep you from facing-and
solving- what’s upsetting you.
> review list and give examples of common
defense mechanisms (figure 3.11)
On your own paper, write in
the correct defense
mechanism. Pg. 81

because you didn't kiss up the
boss, when the real reason was
your poor performance

after hearing bad news;
throwing a temper tantrum
when you don't get your way
• 3. forgetting sexual abuse from
your childhood due to the
trauma and anxiety
