Your Body Never Lies: Ego Defenses, Blind Spots & Protections

Your symptoms are a gift because your body never lies, it's the only thing you can rely on when healing. Listen to your body, it's telling you the truth, your inner child needs you to feel what you had to repress. Your ego defenses protected you as a child, now they are getting in the way from you feeling and healing.

As a child, you developed defense mechanisms to protect yourself from feeling the pain.
Common defenses are:

● Leaving your body and living in your head​ in fantasy, rationalizing, reading, researching, worrying, planning, living in the past or future.
● Denial, dissociation, and repression​ ​all help you not remember what happened.
● Protecting your parents​ ​by understanding why they did what they did, knowing they had a difficult childhood, not wanting to hurt them, or being afraid they won’t love you if you get angry. This causes you to take the blame for their choices, or jump to forgiveness.
● Comparing and minimizing,​ saying things like: “It wasn’t that bad”, “nothing really bad happened”, “other people had it worse”, etc.
● Avoiding,​ saying “I have already done that. I don’t need to look back--I’m over it!” This may also involve focusing on other people and avoiding spending time with yourself by “staying busy”.
● Blaming​ ​and projecting your pain onto other people.
● Addictions​ - any numbing behavior to “feel better," such as excessively drinking alcohol, taking drugs, emotional eating, watching porn, having sex, masturbating, exercising, cleaning the house, etc.
