Imagine the mind as formed by several boxes. Although they are connected, yet each is equipped with a key that can seal and disconnect it from all the others. Surrealistic image? Not really. It is what actually happens when you refuse to acknowledge a situation that is blatantly real. By your behavior, it results evident that you don't "see" what is happening. Why? Because you have willingly locked a specific box (= part) in your brain in order to shut out any unwanted thought or information. In this way, you are able to behave as if the unwelcome situation does not exist and... you feel relieved. But it is an illusory relief. The situation "does" exist and sooner or later the box will necessarily have to be opened.
