Examples from the Internet (not verified by PONS Editors)

Die normale Reaktion auf die Verletzung wären Zorn und Schmerz.

Da der Zorn aber in einer verletzenden Umgebung dem Kind verboten bleibt und da das Erlebnis der Schmerzen in der Einsamkeit unerträglich wäre, muss es diese Gefühle unterdrücken, die Erinnerung an das Trauma verdrängen und seine Angreifer idealisieren.

The normal reactions to such injury should be anger and pain.

Since children in this hurtful kind of environment are forbidden to express their anger, however, and since it would be unbearable to experience their pain all alone, they are compelled to suppress their feelings, repress all memory of the trauma, and idealize those guilty of the abuse.
