Defense Mechanisms- In psychoanalytic theory, the Ego’s protective methods of reducing anxiety by unconsciously distorting reality.

Denial

Refusal to believe when something unpleasant has occurred

Reaction Formation-

opposite of how you feel

Projection- Attribute your negative faults to another person

Hypercritical

Ratilonzation
