I’ve wondered, since then, if Jenny really loved him. I don’t think she did. He was handsome, of course, and charming, but I don’t think he was what she really wanted. It makes me ache inside to think of all the opportunities lost because she settled for something she did not want.

Therefore, repression is where the individual forces distressing memories to the unconscious.

This feeling is named anxiety, and it serves as a signal to the ego that its survival. According to Freud, to deal with conflict and problems in life the Ego employs a range of Ego defenses. Ego defenses operate at an unconscious level and help to hold off unpleasant feelings. If the Ego is forced to admit its weakness, it breaks out in discomfort regarding the outside world, moral discomfort regarding the Superego, and neurotic discomfort regarding the strength of the passions in the “Id”.in fact, memories that banished to the unconscious do not disappear, but continue to give a strong influence on behavior.

Subsequently, Freud identified three types of anxiety. Firstly, reality anxiety is the most rudimentary form of anxiety and, typically, founded on fears of real, possible events (McWilliams, 2011) (for example, falling off a ladder). To reduce this kind of tension, an individual may opt not to climb the ladder. Secondly, neurotic anxiety originates from unconscious fear that the control of the person will betaken over by impulses of the ID and eventually lead to punishment. Thirdly, moral anxiety originates from the Superego and instills fear of going against moral values and codes in individuals. Moral anxiety manifests itself in the form guilt and shame (Kramer,

. Freud considered anxiety to be the result of ‘toxic transformation’ of undischarged libido, believed to be caused by repression or its failure of repression.
