EVERYTHING YOU PUT INTO YOUR INSIDE AND IGNORE WILL HURT YOU, OR LATER...
When a person is uneasy, he neither wants to feel nor reflect this unrest. That's why he unconsciously chooses not to feel these emotions. It uses defense mechanisms for this.
Just like when a microbe is found in our body, our cells become defensive. We make more effort than normal to destroy this microbe, and our consciousness can react in the same way to protect itself.
The point is that while using defense mechanisms is good for the person in the short term, it can cause serious injuries, problems and even serious injuries in the long term. causes psychopathology. In psychology, we talk about some defense mechanisms.
The most common of these is;
Suppression:
- Pretending that the events that hurt us do not hurt us. In a way, sweeping it under the carpet.
-The mind pushes these events out of consciousness and the person does not get hurt at that moment. But this mechanism provides instant relief. With the accumulation of years, a person may find himself crying in a meaningless place, in a meaningless time period. Or he may be facing some psychopathology (anxiety disorder, depression, OCD).
Developing an opposite reaction:
-Described as feeling the exact opposite of the feeling he has. we can. We can give an example like hating the person we are in love with. Or the mechanism of transforming the anger felt towards a damaging parent into excessive love can also be called developing a counter reaction.
Reflection:
-The person's own flaws or negative reactions Transferring one's side to the other party or not accepting one's mistake and blaming someone else is called projection. The most common example of reflection is when the student does not study hard and thinks that he got bad grades due to the teacher's attitude.
Regression:
-Regression is very common in children, when the child goes through difficult times. He may regress when he is not ready to handle some events emotionally. We can talk about regression if a child whose parents are in the process of divorcing starts wetting the bed even though he/she has been toilet trained before.
Change of Direction:
-Transfer the necessary emotion to the appropriate person. It is to project that feeling onto someone else instead of expressing it.
The most common example of changing direction is to transfer our anger towards the boss at work to our spouse or child at home.
Compensation.
-Trying to compensate for our flaws in some way. For example, a person's constant pursuit of success with the intention of compensating for his or her flaws and always pursuing work may indicate that he or she is trying to compensate for the deficiencies in his or her essence.
