Indignant

I am not repressing anything!! Where did they get that impression from? Nothing traumatic happened, that's why I have nothing to tell them.
Isn't Freud a fraud?

According to Freud, the defense mechanisms are the method by which the ego can solve the conflicts between the superego and the id. The use of the mechanisms required eros, and they are helpful if moderately used. The use of defense mechanisms, may attenuate the conflict between the id and superego, but their overuse or reuse rather than confrontation can lead to either anxiety or guilt which may result in psychological disorders such as depression.

Repression occurs when someone cannot remember a past traumatic experience, while suppression is a conscious effort to do the same. (never)
Intellectualisation involves removing one's self, emotionally, from a stressful event. Intellectualisation is often accomplished through rationalisation rather than accepting reality, one may explain it away to remove one's self. (maybe)
Sublimation is the channeling of impulses to socially accepted behaviours. (maybe)

In listening, the analyst attempts to maintain an attitude of empathic neutrality, a nonjudgmental stance designed to create a safe environment. (hey, that's what the psychologist did! PSC pple are Freud fans. Gosh)

Anyway, PSC is not going to offer me a scholarship and I'm glad they're not. Don't waste the scholarship on me.
