Unconscious psychological mechanism that reduces anxiety arising from unacceptable or potentially harmful stimuli
In psychoanalytic theory, a defence mechanism is an unconscious psychological operation that functions to protect a person from anxiety-producing thoughts and feelings related to internal conflicts and outer stressors. According to this theory, healthy people normally use different defence mechanisms throughout life. Wikipedia
