Denial

Denial is a key survival skill that we learned early in childhood.
It stunted our emotional growth by keeping us in a make-believe world.
We often fantasized that our situation was better than it really was.
Denial protected us from our feelings and helped us repress the pain of ... [our childhood years.]
