Suppression

Suppression is similar to repression, but there are some subtle differences. In repression, the person “unconsciously” pushes painful or difficult memories, actions, etc. out of consciousness. However, suppression is a “conscious” exclusion (or “pushing” down) of these painful memories, thoughts, etc. In this way, we control
impulses consciously as opposed to unconsciously.
