Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.9 – Understanding Avoidance and Defense Mechanisms: When stress feels too heavy, people sometimes hide behind defenses like denial, sarcasm, or distraction. These habits protect you short-term but delay growth long-term. Recognizing when you avoid helps you face issues sooner and with courage. Ask yourself what you are trying not to feel. Naming it out loud can release half its power. Replace avoidance with small, safe actions forward. Courage grows every time you face discomfort with honesty.
