REPRESSION
The essence
of repression lies simply in turning something away,
and keeping it at a distance, from the conscious.
Sigmund Freud, 1915

Repression
pushes thoughts and feelings outside of our awareness,
and it strives to minimize psychological conflict
by making the unacceptable inaccessible. |
