Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological strategies that we employ to protect ourselves from anxiety and other unpleasant emotions. While they can be helpful in the short term, they can become problematic when they become rigid and inflexible, leading to self-sabotaging behaviors and relationship difficulties.
Our defense mechanisms worksheets are designed to help you identify and understand your own defense mechanisms, so that you can start to overcome them. The worksheets include:
- A detailed explanation of each defense mechanism, including its definition, purpose, and common manifestations
- Exercises to help you identify your own defense mechanisms
- Strategies for overcoming defense mechanisms and developing healthier coping mechanisms
If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, our defense mechanisms worksheets can help you get to the root of your problems and start to heal.
