Freud's Defence Mechanisms: Tumi's Take on Anxiety and Addiction

Anxiety is a primitive feeling that is linked to our biology, that allows us to take action, especially when we are afraid, especially when there might be danger existing in front of us.
Ever wondered why we sometimes act out or hide our true feelings? In this episode of 'Tumi's Daily Grind', Tumi Dumasi breaks down Freud's defence mechanisms, revealing how these psychological tactics shield us from anxiety. Tumi kicks things off by explaining the basics of Freud's theory and how these mechanisms, like repression and projection, play out in our daily lives.
She dives into personal anecdotes, sharing how she used these defences to justify her addiction and the toll it took on her mental health. But it doesn’t stop there. Tumi also brings in Anna Freud’s perspectives, offering a well-rounded view of how these mechanisms can be both protective and destructive. By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how these unconscious processes influence your decisions and emotional well-being.
Perfect for anyone grappling with addiction or curious about mental health, this episode is a must-listen for its raw honesty and educational value.
