Summary of Joseph Burgo, Ph.D.'s Why Do I Do That?

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The term subconscious mind was coined by the 18th century German philosopher Sir Christopher Riegel, introduced into English by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and taken up by Sigmund Freud more than a century ago as the corner stone of his psychoanalytic theories.

#2 We often believe we know things about other people that they themselves can’t see. We assume we have special insight into people around us, but we may resent it if someone presumes the same thing about us.

#3 Defense mechanisms are invisible methods by which we exclude unacceptable thoughts and feelings from awareness. They subtly distort our perceptions of reality in both our personal relationships and the emotional terrain within us.

#4 The problem with psychological defenses is that they can prevent us from accessing important emotions. By excluding large parts of our emotional experience, we deplete ourselves, diminishing our strength and ability to cope in the world.
