Episode 79: Getting Defensive - How the Mind Handles Psychological Conflict

When presented with new information, sometimes we don't handle it in the best manner, which means sometimes we get defensive. 

But what are we defending?

We all try to maintain our worldview in a way that makes sense to us so when we get information that conflicts with the way we see things, our minds will deploy certain mechanisms. 

In this episode, Jake teaches about psychological defenses that often present in our lives, and how some of them can be helpful to us, while others can be harmful. The clinical team dissects and applies these concepts to the gun community.
