So, for instance, there's sublimation.
-
Sublimation is you might have a lot of energy,
-
maybe sexual energy or aggressive energy,
-
but instead of turning it to a sexual or aggressive target
-
what you do is you focus it in some other way.
-
So, you can imagine a great artist like Picasso
-
turning the sexual energy into his artwork.
-
There is displacement.
-
Displacement is you have certain shameful thoughts or desires
-
and you refocus them more appropriately.
