Think back to when you were little - say about 5 or 6 - if you saw something scary, you could just close your eyes or hide under the covers, and it seemed as if it wasn't real. If I can't see it, it can't see me; therefore, I am safe, and it isn't real. As we have gotten older, instead of closing our eyes, we just don't talk about scary or uncomfortable things; using the same type of childish logic- if I don't acknowledge it then it isn't real and can't hurt me. This applies
