Inhibition

Suppression (Inhibition) - (in psychoanalysis) limitation of instinctive or subconscious aspirations, especially if they contradict consciousness or the requirements of society. In some cases, this contributes to normal social adaptation of a person, but excessive manifestations of suppression can significantly limit a person’s life.

Suppression or inhibition is one of the main concepts in psychoanalysis, which describes the process of limiting a person’s instinctual or unconscious aspirations. This process can be caused by various factors such as social norms, cultural values, religious beliefs, etc.

Suppression can have both positive and negative effects on a person. On the one hand, it can contribute to normal social adaptation, when a person limits his instinctual desires in accordance with the requirements of society. For example, a person may suppress their sexual desires in order to comply with social norms and avoid negative consequences.

However, over-suppression can lead to serious problems. For example, if a person suppresses their desires too much, it can lead to various mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and phobias. Excessive suppression can also limit a person's life, leading to social isolation, loneliness and other negative consequences.

Thus, suppression is a complex process that requires an individual approach and understanding. Psychoanalysis helps to understand the causes and mechanisms of suppression, and also offers methods for overcoming it and developing personality.

Repression is one of the basic concepts of psychoanalysis, which has been the object of intensive study in neuropsychological sciences for almost half a century. Its emergence is associated with the substantiation of the theoretical premises of Freudian psychoanalytic theory.

Suppression, or prohibition of impulses, has a negative impact on the development of personality and the mental organism. The feeling of guilt for those processes that find expression in the unconscious worsens. This process is manifested by suppression: it helps to repress those experiences that are perceived as unpleasant or threatening to the individual. It can be not only fear, but also hatred and anger. Usually it seems to a child that his parents do not love him; he perceives parental love as a strange whim. Parents are always stronger, and for a child they are the people he respects most. Therefore, he suppresses both anger and selfish impulses. Remaining depressed, a person becomes irritable and picky, and begins to negatively evaluate everything around him. The patient becomes a person who hides everything - something is hidden deep in his subconscious, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
