Repression

This picture represents repression because it shows physically what possibly happens inside the brain when a repressed memory is recovered. It's like a new room is being opened in your mind that can be opened and examined after it is found.

Repression: in psychoanalytic theory, the basic defense mechanism that banishes anxiety-arousing thoughts, feelings, and memories from consciousness.
