[[Repression]]: pushing thoughts into the unconscious through setting up walls and preventing painful or dangerous thoughts from entering the conscious mind.

			Psychological repression, is the psychological attempt made by an individual to direct one's own desires and impulses toward pleasurable instincts by excluding the desire from one's consciousness and holding or subduing it in the unconscious. In psychoanalytic theory repression plays a major role in many mental illnesses, and in the psyche of the average person.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_repression Repression]</ref>

[[Repression]]: pushing thoughts into the unconscious through setting up walls and preventing painful or dangerous thoughts from entering the conscious mind. Sublimation: acting out unacceptable impulses and destructive behaviors (such as addictions) in a socially acceptable way.

==Ego Defense Mechanism==
As one learns how to refocus one’s thoughts, one prevents overwhelming states of emotion from triggering impulsive behaviors and angry reactions. As one develops strong impulse control they are learning a form of ego discipline through applied [[Spirit of Patience|patience]]. If we check in and find that we do not like what we may be feeling, we can learn better the reasons for that by further shifting into the [[Observer Point|observer mode]]. In our community, we call that process of observing as shifting from identifying with a thought or feeling by moving ourselves into the compassionate witness. As a [[Compassionate Witness]] we have no judgment of thoughts or feelings, we hold no judgment of what we are observing in the external, we only observe those thoughts and feelings in our self and others. When we can fully observe through our own [[Compassionate Witness]], we then become neutral and centered. Then, we can immediately find relief from our [[Mental Anxiety|inner anxiety]], fears and a host of other thought distortions. This process is key to shifting [[Ego Defense Mechanism]]s, thought addiction tendency and releasing the anxiety or fear of feeling emotional depth or pain. By continually using an ego defense mechanism to avoid facing the [[Physiology of Fear|source causation of the anxiety]] or deeply rooted fear, (which is unresolved pain or trauma) we are only perpetuating the mental looping which uses denial of the truth in order to avoid feeling pain or discomfort. <ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/blog-timeline-shift/2465-i-m-ok I'm ok]</ref>
