“Imagine your logical brain and emotional core as two characters. When you let them each have their space and their say, without your logical brain talking over your emotional core, you may be surprised at what you hear.”

“Defence mechanisms are strong barriers, and they can be helpful or unhelpful, and the degree of their usefulness can change with time. They are strong walls that we put up to protect ourselves from others and ourselves. They are the walls around our castles. The stronger they are, the more they protect us in times of need. But in times of peace, when the threat has passed, they remain there. Just in case. We feel as if we're still protecting ourselves, but really we're keeping other people out. For some of us that includes keeping ourselves too”
