Sublimation (psychology)

Sublimation (psychology) is a process of learning how to manage our emotions. It means that instead of feeling sad, angry, frustrated, or any other negative emotion, we try to change those feelings into positive ones. For example, if someone is feeling angry, they can take that energy and direct it into something creative, like writing a song or painting a picture. Sublimation also helps us to move on from our past and look towards a positive future. It helps us to gain a better understanding of ourselves, and how to cope with challenging situations.
