Detailed explanation-1: -Psychological repression, or simply repression, is the psychological act of excluding desires and impulses (wishes, fantasies or feelings) from one’s consciousness and attempting to hold or subdue them in the subconscious.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freud believed that people repress, or drive from their conscious minds, shameful thoughts that, then, become unconscious. This was his key idea. As he wrote, repression was the ‘centre’ to which all the other elements of psycho-analytic thinking were related.
Detailed explanation-3: -Our instincts and primitive impulses are thus repressed; however, Freud believed that the sexual impulse was so powerful that it continually threatened to “return” and thus disrupt our conscious functioning (hence the now-famous term, “the return of the repressed").
Detailed explanation-4: -Denial as a defense mechanism was originally conceptualized by Freud as the refusal to acknowledge disturbing aspects of external reality, as well as the existence of disturbing psychological (internal) events, such as thoughts, memories, or feelings (Freud 1924/1961, 1925/1961).
