My son never died, he's just playing hide and seek!

Denial

Denial is one of the most common ways of defense. By persuading oneself that an event or truth is in fact, false, one avoids the downfall of the situation.

I only failed because my teacher was gone for the week.

Rationalization

Rationalization is the act of using seemingly logical connections to justify an inappropriate result.

I'm going to relieve my school stress playing football

Sublimation

Sublimation allows an individual to convert their stress into a sensible yet different form than unacceptable ways of expressing it.

I'm going to suck my thumb and not think about anything

Regression

Regression is the act of referring earlier stages of development instead of adapting to the impulses

I'm going to belt you because my boss shouted at me

oh dear!

Displacement

Displacement is the act of redirecting a negative emotion to a subject less threatening than the actual cause of the negative emotion
