Defense mechanism

Self-defense mechanism was first systematically expounded by psychoanalysis. The so-called self-defense mechanism is the psychological mechanism used by the self to avoid interference and maintain psychological balance when the spirit is disturbed. The defense mechanism includes repression, denial, substitution, decoration, projection, compensation and sublimation.

1. Repression (also known as potential inhibition)

It means to suppress those impulses, thoughts or memories, emotions, etc. Can't be accepted by the conscious into the subconscious.

deny

Intentionally or unintentionally, they refused to admit those unpleasant realities, as if the trust tree had never happened, so as to alleviate their mental pain. For example, some people deny the sudden death of their loved ones in the short term to reduce the sudden mental shock.

Substitution (also called transfer) (kicking Molly)

Object, but refers to the feeling of an object. For some reason, when the Tao and Dhamma are directly manifested, they will move to other safer or more acceptable places.

This is the mechanism of "venting anger". For example, after the child was beaten by his mother, he was so angry that he could not react and turned around and kicked himself down.

On the bench, I transferred my anger at my mother to the objects around me. At this time, although the object has changed, the nature and purpose of its impulse are still at the end.

Change. Literary decoration (that is, rationalization)

When individuals encounter setbacks or fail to achieve their goals, they should find some favorable reasons to explain. For example, physical abuse of children can be described as "jade is uncut, abrasive" and "beating is love". Coping with physics and chemistry has two manifestations: sour grape psychology, that is, what you can't get is said to be bad; (2) The psychology that lemon is sweet means that when you can't get grapes but only lemon, you say lemon is sweet. Both of them cover up their mistakes or failures to maintain inner peace.

project

It refers to the phenomenon that individuals transfer their own characteristics to others out of their own needs and emotional tendencies. Projection makes people regard their own characteristics as those of others. "There is a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly" belongs to this role.

6. Compensation (compensation)

It means that individuals use some methods to make up for their physical or psychological defects, thus covering up their sense of inferiority and insecurity. The so-called "lost east corner, harvested mulberry?" This is the role. Ugly, you will lose more reading.

7.

This is the most active and constructive defense mechanism. Because it can turn socially unacceptable sexual desire or aggressive impulse into a more advanced and socially acceptable goal or channel to carry out various creative activities. This can be seen from some famous works of writers and artists, such as Goethe's Young Werther. This is to transfer instinct, mainly sexual energy, to an object and goal with social value.

8.humor

It refers to dealing with difficulties in a humorous way. It has no personal discomfort, and there is no public expression that unpleasantly affects the feelings of others. It's not exactly the same as watching music and telling jokes Humor can still make a person bear and concentrate on embarrassing situations, while humor and joking words will distract or divert his attention from emotional problems.

Everything you don't want to admit proves that you are not as brave as me, but you are deceiving yourself and living in your own fantasy. You are not as brave as me if you don't have the courage to face the reality.
