%RELEASING REPRESSIONS 770913
Repressed desires, perceptions, memories, instincts,
etc. are not released through rebellion, disrespect,
violations and their like. The latter responses to
repression may occasion intensification of the repression
and so heighten the conflict. To release repressions one
must work to relax the logic and motivation for the
repression. The agents of repression work to achieve
certain ends, perhaps to repress certain emotions. The
logic and motivation of the repression must be responded
to in order to release the repressed.
The logic of repression tends to be flawed. The
program of repression does not accomplish its ostensible
goals in any profound way. The superficiality of the
accomplishments of the repression may be revealed and the
logic deprived of much of its power. The repressors
through collusion may resist perception of the inadequacy
of the logic. Logical dialogue is not likely to break
through the protective shells thrown up out of fear. The
fear of the repressors must be dealt with in order to
release that which has been repressed.
The motivation for repression is usually fear. The
repressors fear the repressed and/or what which the
repressed represents. So long as the fear continues, the
motivation for repression continues. Thus, steps need to
be taken to reduce the fear. This is not likely to be the
case for humane role models who live in affectionate ways
which create fail-safe emotional contexts that transcend
the dichotomies of culture and language. Such people live
in ways which put people at ease, promoting increasing
trust in risky situations. By being inclusive they reduce
the fears which occasion the exclusive acts of repression.
People not only repress each other; they repress
essential aspects of themselves along the lines indicated
above. Such repression violates their integrity and makes
them unpredictable as to behavior---lacking integrity. In
such people the conflict is internal, between dichotomous
aspects of the fragmented self. The divided self is not
united by love. To release the repressed aspects of the
divided self love must work to facilitate full self-
awareness.
