Sometimes experiences are so complicated that it is difficult to accept in consciously.

Defense can never be removed if consiliatul himself is not ready for that. Counselor can help the board to acquire the necessary resources and be ready to face reality! Only when the time is ripe for removing favorable defense mechanisms. for this need ADVICE AND EXPERIENCE>


1) Denial One of the most common mechanisms of defense is deny. This defense means that in reality, the person rejects or overlooks view unpleasant experiences. Although she received no information recorded in consciousness. He heard, yet never heard. He saw he had not yet seen. The person I was able to take the truth. Knowledge produced a pain.Denial - is a normal reaction when people are in a state of shock. For example. a person whose doctor has explained that suffer from a disease that threatens life can go home and behave like he was a muscle-bound, not something serious. ADEVARUL was a part and denied it.Of course, it is important that gradually denial be interrupted and the truth get in consciously. During negarii person has time to gather power and to be ready to face the truth. Then there is no need for defense. Person because of his available resources to face reality, even if it is still painful.


2) removing -Involves removing awful experiences are fully aware of the remote and far away subconsciously. This may be sad about memories, feelings or negative ofense, experimentation of disasters, accidents, abuse. Memories are removed, but they still exist and continue to influence behavior and feelings of such person. Sometimes the reaction may be found difficult to understand, both for the person concerned and for the close. Only the effects are visible, and not their origin.


3) Transfer Transfereara-is a defense mechanism used sometimes as a reaction to various aggressive actions. It means that the man assaulted romance feelings or directs his reaction to something less threatening or something neutral. Aggressiveness to move from what, in fact, should they be subject to something non-hazardous and can not be revenge. An example is the child who is mad on his parents, but his mania download on toys. Another example is parents who let his irritation that turn up on children at home, instead directed to an employer that is because its real iritarii. Transferring seems to be a solution, but in fact it provides only a temporary one mollification assaulted.


4) regress Regression is an ordinary defense. Regression is a return to childish behavior. May regress both the facts and in the regression runs gandire.Prin of responsibility and other unpleasant experience in this way to avoid facing reality. The person becomes helpless and dependent. Is smaller than it is real and thus has a positive treatment from others, receive more aid, and care is served. A classic example is the child who has a brother who, emotional and behavioral regreseaza to enjoy again the increased attention from parents. Even adults can regress. When you meet difficulties such as offense, illness or claims too much by others, may become totally helpless. This is a positive reaction for a while, while they gather resources to look reality in the face. The problem occurs when the regression becomes a habit, a constant and convenient way to escape from reality.


5) Streamline Rationalization is more a defense mechanism-that we encounter in seeking to rationalize consiliere.PRin sensitive and rational reasons for different actions. Consiliatul gradually trying to improve reality. This can be done by describing and explaining events in such a way as to be easier to address them and to bear. Person tries to find logical explanations for the failures suffered in place to assume responsibility and understand the truth. The most clear rationaliari occur when the image itself is affected. An example is used in which an athlete or a team loses a match. Rather than admit that they were defeated by a better opponent, those concerned to explain! loss saying "such that the referee" was incorrect "or as" the best player got hurt. " Rationalization-is an unusual phenomenon even in relationships, because it offers a way to get rid of personal responsibility.

Assign to others opinions and negative characteristics in our place to get to us. Projection is used as a defense mechanism against - unacceptable behavior and feelings. For example, people can design-own aggression on another person. Thus, no longer think of themselves and do not need to take responsibility reaction concerned. Someone else is revealed! fingers because it is "zgarcit" or "Curious", rather than see those traits in their life. Course-projection is only an apparent solution. It should be replaced with the courage to accept reality and bold to face. Long-term projection is a drag in the way of empathy, tolerance and autocriticii. The opposite is always somewhere else, not in your own life with her weaknesses.


7) INTELECTUALIZAREA Intelectualizarea - shows lack of connection between thought and feeling, when there is a feeling experience. Sometimes people who have been through terrible experiences, I can report them and to describe the wealth of information without sentimentally involved. In this case it is a defense mechanism that effectively distanteaza person those experiences. Thus - Stories of experiences are mechanical, just a reproduction of their neutral incidents. The defense simply stop all feelings appropriate, as they are unbearable.
