183: Understanding and Healing our Defenses with Karen Gelstein

On today's show we have one of my favorite people and therapists, on the show-Karen Gelstein. Karen helped us to understand our defenses and how to heal them and change how we react with others. 

She shares with us how humor, ruminating thoughts, missing red flags, codependency and even addictions are all ways that we defend ourselves to stay safe. 

We delved into the inner child and how the inner child becomes wounded and the defenses are created. 

Lastly, she helps us to identify our defenses and gives us the tools we need to heal, so that we can regain emotional balance and reconnect with ourselves and others in a healthy way. 

As always, Karen delivers a wealth of information for us to help with our own inner transformation.
