What does denial mean? An alternative defence mechanism

in motivation •  7 months ago 

Our fight for survival and the process of evolution by changing to fit new conditions don't just happen in our bodies.

The human ego has also built up psychological defences to keep itself safe, even though it only looks like blood and bones.

Life can catch us off guard sometimes. People use these defence strategies to try to keep from feeling bad when they are having a hard time coping.

One way we protect ourselves when we can't face the truth is through denial. Do you think denial psychology or denial defence strategy is a good way to do things? This is what it means.

People's spiritual lives begin in childhood and grow and change along with their physical lives. As people get older, their spiritual lives change too.

The original sub-ego (id) and the ego (ego), which is different from it, grow during this process. The ego has come up with some ways to protect itself.

Some examples of these are displacement, reflection, and denial. Like the biological tools our bodies have to protect us. Everyone has a job to do.

When danger comes from the outside, humans can either run away or fight.

There is a threat from outside this place. When it comes to the self's defence mechanisms, on the other hand, there is a very strong and dangerous urge that comes from inside the person (from the id or superego) or an opposite response to something that might throw the internal balance off.

That's why the enemy is inside us. Our defences against the danger that comes from within us and that our conscious mind can't understand speak the language of the threat. This means that both the threat and the defence against it are unconscious.

When our brains are waiting for the unacceptable truth to hit us or for us to move into the acceptance phase, they try to hide some information from us so that we can't get to it for a while.

We go on with our lives as if nothing had happened. We call this "denial" or "ostrich syndrome."

Defence mechanisms that hide the truth; contrary to what most people think, it doesn't actually help the person live a healthy life because of the patterns they hide, ignore, or reject in order to be healthy.

It won't help an adult's relationships, emotions, thoughts, or behaviour if they avoid their troubling feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and instead indulge in childish fantasies like getting rid of a real-life problem.

One of the most common ways our brains protect us is by denying things. We've all been through this one more or less mildly at some point, and we didn't even know it.

It's possible that you told someone to "don't bury your head in the sand like an ostrich."

And when this person is asked about himself, he usually says that he doesn't feel connected to the problem at all, much less see what you see. The name for this idea is the rejection principle.
