Message: <blockquote data-quote="A Man Called Charolais" data-source="post: 69987">'In psychological terms, denial is a defense mechanism, a skillful tool the mind can employ when things get tough. "I see it as a protective barrier we have that we might or might not be aware of," Scholl says. "It keeps us safe. It also keeps us from looking at ourselves or addressing something around us and making a change."You can be in denial about something you're not ready to admit or take on, or something that challenges deeply held beliefs....Denial can shield us from difficult emotions. Scholl says that might be helpful in the short term, and provide relief to people who don't have the bandwidth or ability to face a problem....People in denial often exhibit certain behaviors. For example, they might<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">minimize or justify problems, issues, or unhealthy behaviors</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">avoid thinking about problems</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">avoid taking responsibility for unhealthy behaviors, or blame them on someone else</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">refuse to talk about certain issues, and get defensive when the subjects are brought up.</li> </ul>...Dealing with denial means first recognizing that it's occurring — which can be a challenge for anyone — and then addressing the underlying issue that's causing it.'<a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/denial-how-it-hurts-how-it-helps-and-how-to-cope-202307262958" target="_blank">Denial: How it hurts, how it helps, and how to cope - Harvard Health Letter</a></blockquote>
