Denial ([psychological]) Denial consists of the refusal to accept a past or present reality and is most commonly employed to protect the host from their own negative traits; to protect them from the repeated memories of the negative actions of another or to avoid recognising their own guilt for past actions, thoughts or feelings. It is a self defence mechanism employed by aspects of the subconscious mind in an attempt to protect emotional and [psychological] wellbeing. Denial can be a scary and very sad thing to witness in someone that you love or care about; it is generally very difficult to help someone see the truth and especially for them to truly believe and accept that reality on a long term basis. People deny [responsibility] every day for a number of things; but denial itself goes far deeper into the psyche than that. While people in denial generally still have the seed of truth still buried within their heads, they generally cannot believe that it is the truth even when [confronted] with it. This is due to the mind in effect rewriting or superimposing a more acceptable reality over the original memory. Even with abject proof of an events occurrence, someone in denial is highly unlikely to fully accept the [particular] reality that their mind has decided they cannot cope with. They are more likely in that instance to use projection or minimisation or to continue or revert back to being in full blown denial.
