The conscious and deliberate effort to push unwanted thoughts, feelings, or memories out of awareness.
From Latin 'suppressio' meaning 'a pressing down,' from 'supprimere' (to press down, restrain).
Suppression is deliberately pushing a thought away — unlike repression, you KNOW you're doing it. 'I'll deal with this later.'
