Ep44 | Defenses Against Emotion: Repression & Suppression

Wholehearted Loving

In today's episode we dig into Dr. Raja Selvam's list of psychological defenses against emotions as presented in his book The Practice of Embodying Emotions — specifically, the first two items: repression and suppression.

You also get to meet G's inner child and hear about her sweet, lovable anger, and some of the other bits and pieces we've repressed or suppressed over the years, along with some simple, more loving alternatives.
