So when talking about someone who is returning to a more immature state due to an anxious episode, let's say they get anxiety from something they fear, some sort of conflict, maybe they're put in front of, maybe they're put in a dangerous situation, you know, they're going to do something called regress.
00:23
Their ego is going to do something called regress.
00:26
And we know the word regress means to go back.
00:29
So if someone is going to go back to a more immature state, an immature behavioral state from where they already are in life, it has to be regression because regressing is going back.
00:44
So there are a lot of psychoanalysts that believe that there are many major defense mechanisms.
00:50
There's not just regression.
00:51
There's repression.
00:53
There is rationalization.
00:56
Denial.
00:56
There are many, many different kinds of defense mechanisms.
01:00
But the one we're focusing on today, we're talking about going back.
01:05
So going back from point a, let's do point b here.
01:14
Point b to point a.
01:18
Obviously, it makes sense to go from a to b.
01:20
But we're going to talk about regression.
01:22
We're going from b to a.
01:28
B is going to represent a, in this case, b will represent a later state, a later behavioral state in life.
01:35
Because as we know, as you develop, as we develop as people, our personalities develop as well, and we move along in different behavioral stages.
01:47
So let's say person b, oh, these will be the same person...
