Repression

In my opinion, repression is which means that you forgot some things that the memory makes you feel pain. In the book, it said that repression is means motivated forgetting of emotionally threatening memories or impulses. If when you remember someone or something, you feel ache or pain about that, forget it is a better way.
I think this topic is very important, because some people cannot have a happy life or even want to commit suicide all caused by the bad memories, if they can forget it then they have a better life.
There is an example for my best friend; she is good player for piano. Once she had a piano performance, however, she made a mistake for her playing, and her teacher and her parent feel really disappointment. And she felt sorry for them and guilt to herself. Since then, she became afraid of the performance, and never does it again. I know she was not happy now. To her piano is not only a instrument, but also a friend and a part of her life. So if she can forgot the bad memory about the performance, then she can does it again and live more happy which I wishes.
There are also many people who repress themselves and it is really important to help them out.
