1)list and define each defense mechanism?

2)provide an explanation of 1 or 2 defense mechanism that you realize you have used in the past?

3) what was the outcome of the situation?

 

1. Denial -When a person is unable to accept reality and admit the truth
2. Displacement- The diversion of one's emotions from the original source to a substitute
3. Projection-The projection of one's own motive,feeling to someone else
4. Rationalization- developing excuses to justify irrational behavior
5. Reaction Formation-Behaving opposite on how you feel
6. Regression-coping strategies and revert to behavior used earlier in development or when they are younger
7. Dissociation- detachment from reality and finding another representation of self to adjust
8. Intellectualization- Intellectualization works to reduce anxiety by thinking about events in a clinical way instead of showing one's emotion.
9. Compensation-counterbalancing of perceived flaws instead of focusing on strengths
10. Undoing-Trying to make up for what one feels are inappropriate thoughts, feelings, or behaviors

2.Undoing and Reaction Formation

3.I have realized that in most situation i ended up using both defense mechanism hand in hand basically my problem is that sometimes i cannot be honest on what i truly feel be it i hate something or like someone so i sometimes ended up using Reaction formation and then after a couple of minutes realizing i am being not honest and so i'll start with undoing trying to resolve the conflict I did in the first place to stop being guilty.

Step-by-step explanation

The definitions i have provided are pretty easy to understand with the answers on number 2 and 3 those are personal answers feel free to use it or create your own. for the number 2 the situations usually happened when someone asked me about my feelings can be about a situation,a thing or a person and due to embarrassment or my Pride i will end u not telling how i truly feel which sometimes lead to someone getting hurt and later on because of guilt i will be trying to do something for that person to make them feel better .
