Ep. 81 Thorns Behind The Beauty

We may never get rid of our thorns but once we are aware what they are, we can consciously take new actions and work to override them with the true beauty that is within us all. For many years I would repress and pretend that I didn't have any thorns. Unfortunately that actually caused them to compound and grow stronger over the years.

These thorns usually grow for the purpose of being defence mechanisms. I will explain how this happened in my life, based on my past life experiences.

We will also cover the top 10 most common defence mechanisms and how they might be affecting your life.

They include: Denial, repression, projection, displacement, regression, rationalization, sublimation, reaction formation, compartmentalization, and intellectualization.

As always, this episode is to shine a light of awareness on how your thorns might be affecting your life, and how you might be able to override them to improve relationships, and your life as a whole.

Enjoy,

Joel:)
