The Cast Ascendancy podcast takes a deep dive into the intriguing world of the psychology of anger, blame, and defense mechanisms in relationships. Our host, Profit, brings a unique perspective to the table, viewing these emotional reactions as tools individuals use to protect their self-image and preserve their ego. Profit's insights are shaped by his belief that people often resort to blame and defense mechanisms to avoid taking responsibility for their actions, using anger as a shield against judgment and a means to regain control in situations where they feel powerless. Join him on this episode of The CastAscendancy Podcast as he explores these complex dynamics and dig into the importance of accepting the truth and not hiding behind excuses or false personas.
