Part I: Defense Mechanism, Difficult Knowledge, & Heterosexual Relationships

Part 1 in a series explaining how enacting defense mechanisms are part of learning what feminist psychoanalyst Deborah Britzman calls "difficult knowledge." This episode hones in on the defense mechanisms often embedded in heterosexual relationships—including what often happens when women speak up to men about patriarchal dynamics in their relationship (such as unequal household labor being exported onto women). I also introduce the new coaching service for couples I will be launching soon.
