Answers:

Repression

the restraint, prevention, or inhibition of a feeling, quality, etc.:

the action or process of suppressing a thought or desire in oneself so that it remains unconscious.

Sometimes repression leads to refusal to accept, or acknowledge something about one self which can be dangerous.



its where you repress a memory - meaning you subconsciously force yourself to forget it because its so bad or traumatic, its your brains natural defence to anything to horrific to handle - it just blacks it out. If you don't deal with what you're repressing it will probably come back to haunt you in later life, but trying to unlock the memory before your mentally ready to deal with it may also be bad



Its when you subdue your feelings , emotions and impulses . Its also when you want to forget something.
