Alcohol Rehab
Posted in Alcohol Rehab on October 29th, 2008There are several types of denial:
Projection, in which the user believes everyone else has a problem, not them.
Rationalization, in which the user believes they are using alcohol and drugs because of unsatisfying aspects of their life.
Intellectualizing, in which the user thinks more about or against the fact that they have a problem rather than attempt to admit or solve it.
Minimizing, in which the user admits they use but that it is not a problem.
Suppression, in which the user pushes away any negative consequences of their use.
Withdrawing, in which the user removes themselves from the people or situations attempting to confront them about their problem so they can avoid admitting they have one.
