Among the defense mechanisms that the ego employs are repression, denial, rationalization, displacement, regression, projection, reaction formation, and sublimation.

Repression involves motivated forgetting, rejecting unacceptable thoughts, desires, and memories and banishing them to the unconscious.
Displacement involves diverting a behavior or thought away from its natural target toward a less threatening target.
Regression is a return to a more immature level of functioning in an effort to avoid the anxiety of facing one's current role in life.
