Progress.

An epiphany.

The first step.

For someone to be considered in a state of denial then the thing that they are denying must be harmful to them or those around them. The term is commonly used to talk about someone who has a hazardous addiction and refuses to acknowledge that the addiction is damaging their life. Someone who admits they are in denial has come to realise that they would be better of without their addiction. This is a valuable psychological step towards tackling the problem and altering their behaviour.
