Do you ever wonder “Why do I do that?” Why you react, avoid, or shut down in certain situations? This groundbreaking psychology book by Joseph Burgo Ph.D. is a guide to understanding the hidden forces shaping your emotions, behaviors, and relationships.

Written for students, beginners, and anyone curious about psychology, self-help, or emotional healing, this book explains how psychological defense mechanisms like denial, projection, and repression impact your mental health and everyday decisions.
