Deep dives
Compartmentalization as a defense mechanism
Compartmentalization is a defense mechanism that the human psyche uses to manage fear and anxiety by separating contradictory thoughts and feelings into different compartments. It helps avoid cognitive dissonance. For example, people may compartmentalize their work life and personal life to maintain a sense of control and avoid emotional conflicts. However, excessive compartmentalization can lead to disconnect and fatigue.
