In this episode I am exploring why we might be consciously – or unconsciously – avoiding looking in certain areas of our lives.  It won’t surprise you to learn that we will be delving back into the world of defence mechanisms.  What you might not be expecting is a nod to Melanie Klein, as well as our usual check in with Freud.

My mother’s home decor gets a mention too!  Have a listen and see how this all comes together.

Here are the highlights of this episode:
