Compensation Defences

From Coping to Freedom: Unmasking Compensation Defences

In this experiential Therapeutic Spiral Model (TSM) psychodrama session, uncover the hidden ways you’ve learned to cope—through perfectionism, control, people-pleasing, or withdrawal. These compensation defences once protected you, but may now limit your growth and relationships.

Through guided enactments and reflective processing, discover how to gently transform these patterns into pathways of authenticity, emotional freedom, and deeper connection.

Join us to explore a path of awareness, growth, and deeper healing. ✨

Reviews:

"My first My New Happy session gave me a new way to process family trauma beyond just talking. Through role-playing and reflective exercises, I uncovered emotions and patterns I didn’t even realize I had. It was eye-opening and really helped me make sense of things I usually struggle to put into words. Looking forward to the next sessions and what else I might discover!" Young Adult

I could not understand why I self-harm. I could not voice the deepest pain in my heart. I felt lost and confused, troubled not being able to free myself. I attended one session and found out why I self-harm. I can continue to recover." Teenager

"I struggled with my family problems for years. I can't voice my inner struggles and pain. I can't solve the problem. I'm lost, miserable and in despair. I've strunk into my little cocoon of hopelessness. In my first session, I cried like I've never cried for years, starting to release my inner pain. I look forward to finding resolution of my struggles in this supportive community." Young Mummy
