This really should be posted in psychology channel as well. Great post and thanks for spreading education. Imagine is more people were self-aware, how the world would become a much a better place? Most people aren't even when they're defensive, never the less know WHICH defense they're experiencing. It's a wonderful thing to self-audit and learn about one's own defense mechanisms and how to recognize them in others through their speech and body language. I believe very strongly a lot of wars, arguments, and misunderstanding could be empathized with if people understood themselves and others better at a psychological level. I look forward to other posts of yours if you decide to post more on this topic.
