disturbing emotions unavailable

but still physiologically influences the indiv.
- when inf. is troubling/distasteful (childhood trauma, hatred) and we
are aware of them→ anxiety= warning signal primarily caused by
conflict: 1.reality anxiety- fear of the world
2. moral anxiety- fear of violating own moral code
3.neurotic anxiety- fear of impulses, no control
-motivated unconscious= nothing happens by accident, everything we
do/say/feel is an expression of mind
-reaching unconsciousness: Freudian slips (unconsciously expressed
desires), free associations (saying whatever comes to mind), projective
techniques (Rorschach´s inkblot test/ Thematic Apperception Test
(TAT)), hypnosis, dreams
-inf. can pass back and forth between conscious and preconscious, from them to
unconscious but once in unconscious→ mental gate (no access to the inf.)

hostile, thinking others are also hostile)
intellectualization- thinking analytically, finding reasons, explanations
displacement- redirecting impulses to a more acceptable target (being
mad at boss but yelling at wife)
sublimation- channelling urges into socially acceptable activities (going
running when angry)
reaction formation- behaving opposite to own impulses (condemn
homosexuality but have same sex partner)
undoing- undo bad act w/another good act
regression- reacting to stress by displaying fixations from early age
isolation- detach memory from emotion
