When the Mask Comes Off: Recognizing the Power of Vulnerability a conversation with Shnika Davis

There is Power in Your Story with Dr. Veronica Hardy

Shnika Davis, MSW, LCSW, LCAS-A is a clinical professional with a private practice called I Rock Therapy located in Fayetteville, NC. She provides services across the spectrum including relationship counseling, chemical dependency evaluations, and group counseling. She responds to life challenges ranging from anxiety, life adjustments and addictions, to domestic violence and self-esteem. During our conversation today on There is Power in Your Story, she will share about vulnerability from the perspective of strength and freedom.

During this conversation, listeners will hear the concept of "defense mechanisms," which are often tools used to guard an individual from uncomfortable feelings. Oftentimes, we may be unaware that our defense mechanisms (if any) are taking place. At times, certain types of defense mechanisms can be healthy (depending on the circumstance). On the other hand, there are defense mechanisms that may be unhealthy, especially when used too often. In turn, this can harm relationships or other opportunities.
