Denial is a psychological defense mechanism in which an individual refuses to accept reality or facts, thereby protecting themselves from uncomfortable feelings or situations. This can manifest as an outright rejection of evidence or an inability to acknowledge distressing emotions. By denying the truth, individuals may temporarily shield themselves from anxiety or pain, but it can hinder personal growth and resolution of underlying issues.
Clinical terms for denial include rejection, repudiation, negative and non acceptance. Denial is a form of repression which is a self preservation mechanism that protects the brain from trauma.
Denial of the victim refers to a psychological defense mechanism where individuals or society reject the reality of a victim's experience or suffering. This can manifest as disbelief in the victim's account, minimizing their pain, or blaming them for their circumstances. Such denial can hinder justice and recovery for the victim, perpetuating trauma and preventing necessary support or acknowledgment of their plight. It often reflects broader societal attitudes towards power dynamics, vulnerability, and accountability.
Denial is the act of asserting that a particluar allegation or fact is not true. There are three different forms or types of denial, including: projection, simple denial, and minimisation.
Adherent denial refers to the psychological phenomenon where individuals actively reject or ignore evidence that contradicts their beliefs or experiences, often clinging to those beliefs despite overwhelming contrary information. This type of denial can manifest in various contexts, such as health-related issues, addiction, or political beliefs, leading to a persistent commitment to a false narrative. It serves as a coping mechanism to protect one's self-image or worldview, making it challenging for individuals to confront uncomfortable truths.

Denial. Jacks Denial to be rescue someday.
A defense mechanism is a way our mind protects itself from anxiety or discomfort by distorting reality. It helps us cope with difficult situations by unconsciously changing our thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Common defense mechanisms include denial, projection, and rationalization.
