Warriors for Life (WFL)—"Defense Mechanisms: For Better or For Worse We Need Them!"

https://www.victoryforveterans.org/blog/warriors-for-life-wfl-defense-mechanisms-for-better-or-for-worse-we-need-them

Join Veteran and Therapist PO3 Christopher St. John TONIGHT for Warriors for Life (WFL) Virtual Group Support Community Services as we bring veterans together for "Sharing and Caring" with an extended virtual hand.

TONIGHT's Topic: "Defense Mechanisms: For Better or For Worse We Need Them!"

Defense mechanisms refer to processes of self-deception that protect people from anxious thoughts or feelings.

Defense mechanisms aren’t inherently bad—they can allow people to navigate painful experiences or channel their energy more productively.

Defense mechanisms operate at an unconscious level and help ward off unpleasant feelings (i.e., anxiety) or make good things feel better for the individual.

This sounds great!!! I use sarcasm and factual statements; both of which can be misinterpreted! I could more variety in coping skills! Going to attempt to get in on this one! Thanks, Nancy
