Video Description

What's Anya Mind this week? For many of my clients, this time in isolation has made them more introspective about feelings of loneliness and sometimes abandonment. Whenever our relationships pan out differently than we hoped, there's always a part of us that questions, "Could I have done something differently that would've made things better?" Often, we protect ourselves and hearts at all costs, and sometimes the cost is our dream relationship, job, etc. The question becomes "How can I better see when I'm on the defense to prevent myself from self-sabotaging?" In today's video, I'll discuss the top defense mechanisms I see getting in the way of my clients, friends, family, and even my own happiness. Which one applies the most to you?
