PSYCH 1 Introduction to Psychology 71746 Jasjit Deol Nov 8, 2023 at 1:25 PM Topic: The topic that I will be talking about is defense mechanisms. The body and mind has many ways of protecting itself from anxiety and that is exactly what defense mechanisms are. The body has many defense mechanisms, a very common on is denial. Denial is when ones ego simply rejects the reality of what is causing them anxiety. Many of us use denial in our everyday life, for example, if we ever fail a test we may tend to not look at our grade until we absolutely have to. Another defense mechanism is repression, this is when your mind or body faces something traumatizing earlier in life but later tends to forget it ever happened. An example of this can be if a person is bitten by a dog as a kid, and they later are scared of dogs but have no idea why. That is repression because although the kid clearly built a fear of dogs after the bite, he/she does not recall the incident.
