Being in a state of denial is a universally human response to
situations which threaten to overwhelm.
People who were abused as children sometimes carry their
denial like precious cargo without a port of destination.
It enabled us to survive our childhood experiences,
and often we still live in survival mode decades beyond the actual abuse.
We protect ourselves to excess because we learned
abruptly and painfully that no one else would.
