What is Coping and Defense Mechanisms Explained about?
Coping mechanisms are strategies people use to manage stress and difficult emotions. Adaptive coping mechanisms like support from others, relaxation, problem-solving, and physical activity are generally healthy. Maladaptive mechanisms include escape, unhealthy self-soothing, numbing through substances, and risky behaviors. Defense mechanisms are unconscious psychological strategies used to avoid unpleasant thoughts and maintain self-esteem, like denial, repression, projection, and rationalization.
