Yes. "Life".

It is normal for people to come up with an endless variety of mechanisms to avoid feeling emotions. Repression is the inevitable result. By focusing on anything else you can temporarily make emotions disappear from awareness. This is very common.

A willingness to feel emotions, which is not the same as an attempt to adjust how you feel, is the opposite of repression and can feel quite disturbing temporarily. However this willingness is a purposeful shift from repression to awareness that eases the anxiety that occurs from repressing.
