CHAPTER

The Impact of Trauma on Perception and Defense Mechanisms

This chapter explores how trauma can shape our perception of present events and create defense mechanisms based on past experiences.

Additionally, it mentions that these defense systems can persist into adulthood, particularly in situations involving broken trust in coaching.
