Ego defences

The ego, as defined in psychological terms, is a part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious and is responsible for reality testing and a sense of personal identity. People often employ various defense mechanisms to protect their ego and maintain a positive self-image. Here are 13 common ways people might defend their ego:

These defense mechanisms can be unconscious and automatic, and while they might serve to protect the ego in the short term, they can also hinder personal growth and the ability to deal with reality effectively. Understanding and becoming aware of these mechanisms can be a first step toward healthier coping strategies and emotional well-being.

Dr. Becky gives examples to illustrate how each defense mechanism might manifest in everyday situations.
