Document Summary
Sublimation: when you"re feeling anxious, you do something constructive such as cooking or woodworking. Suppression: if you"re bothered by something or someone, you keep the lid on your feelings if letting them show would interfere with your goals. Anticipation: when you know you"ll be faced with a challenging situation, you try to plan ahead so you won"t be overwhelmed. Altruism: you derive true pleasure from helping other people and if you couldn"t you"d get depressed. Humor: you try to see the funny side of situations, even when they"re stressful or potentially upsetting. displacement: instead of showing you"re angry at a person who can get you into trouble, you shift your annoyance to something or someone less threatening. Repression: you are sometimes unable to remember unpleasant experiences that you"ve had in the past. Reaction formation: rather than showing how you really feel toward someone, you show the opposite behavior.
