Question 14

When Priya was younger, she was accidentally locked in a school equipment cupboard for twenty minutes. She now has no memory of the incident, even when she tries to recall it. She becomes tense in lifts without understanding the reason and repeatedly dreams that she is walking through a hedge maze whose paths grow narrower around her.

Explain Priya's experience using Freud's ideas about the unconscious and repression.
