Or... "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Many people get completely derailed by their emotions, and struggle to perform certain tasks, even when they're essential and can't be skipped. Compartmentalising allows you to not get derailed and make sure that everything gets done, reagardless of how you are actually feeling in the moment. text/html 2026-09-17T14:48:43+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=glossary:list-of-defenses&rev=1789656523&do=diff List of Psychological Defenses For a discussion of the problem of categorising the defenses, please see: Classification of Psychological Defenses Defenses By Function Ignoring * Denial * Dissociation * Repression * Suppression * Schizoid Fantasy Deflecting/Externalising * Acting Out * Displacement * Projection * Projective Identification Internalising * Identification * Identification with the Aggressor * Introjection * Turning Against the Self Transforming text/html 2026-09-17T14:47:51+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=glossary:classification-of-defense-mechanisms&rev=1789656471&do=diff Classification of Psychological Defenses The traditional way of categorising psychological defenses is by their maturity level; either primitive, neurotic, or mature. Mature here refers both to their complexity/sophistication, and how helpful/productive they are. text/html 2026-09-17T14:41:03+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=glossary:defense-mechanism&rev=1789656063&do=diff Defense Mechanism A Note on Terminology The following terms are used more or less interchangeably in normal speech, but do in fact have important differences in meaning: * defense-mechanism * defense reaction * ego-defense * psychological defense text/html 2026-09-17T14:35:35+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=glossary:ego-defense&rev=1789655735&do=diff Ego Defense Defitions English & English * The retraining or sublimating or symbolic alteration of id impulses in order to protect the integrity of the ego. * Protecting the ego by effecting harmony between id and superego.

The simplest possible translation for this is “being hard on yourself.” You are the first to criticise yourself, and often stop yourself from doing things because you're worried you'll make a mistake, or that you'll be judged/ridiculed by others. text/html 2026-09-15T19:57:35+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=glossary:defenses:denial&rev=1789502255&do=diff Denial Perhaps the most famous defense, denial is literally that: you deny that something is true. This is sometimes trivial, like denying one made an embarassing slip-of-the-tongue, but it can also be more serious, as in the alcoholic who denies their addiction. text/html 2026-09-09T10:20:06+00:00 ahrp (ahrp@undisclosed.example.com) https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?image=headshot_crop_4x5_small_0.jpg&ns=0&rev=1788949206&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://ahrp-therapy.com/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=99bef1&amp;media=headshot_crop_4x5_small_0.jpg" alt="headshot_crop_4x5_small_0.jpg" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" />
