Best Answer

Repression is a defense mechanism where unpleasant thoughts and memories are pushed into the unconscious mind. In extreme cases, repression can lead to the loss of memory, known as amnesia. This can be a maladaptive coping strategy if it prevents individuals from facing and processing difficult emotions.
