Introduction

Anxiety in ISTDP is often closely linked to defense mechanisms. Defenses are unconscious psychological strategies used to protect the self from anxiety-provoking emotions or thoughts. In the context of ISTDP, common defenses include repression, intellectualization, and projection. These defenses serve to manage the anxiety but at the cost of emotional suppression and the perpetuation of psychological distress.
