Defense Mechanisms and Other Survival Strategies

This class looks at the use of psychological defense strategies which support survival due to the potentially emotionally crushing realities. In a similar function, Dr. Donald Hoffman’s ground breaking research related to the evolutionary process resulting in human’s struggle to see reality, as a survival strategy. Use of this knowledge in the psychotherapy practice and self development can lead to insights and personal development. Regardless if you are a behavioral health provider, or seeking personal growth, this class can help illuminate aspects of your life which have been hiding in plain sight.
