How to use "Deny" in context?

When it comes to denying, there are many possible ways to go about it. In general, there are two types of denial: cognitive and psychodynamic.

Cognitive denial is when someone consciously rejects a truth or reality. They may try to logically disprove the evidence that is before them or they may simply choose to ignore it. Psychodynamic denial, on the other hand, is when a person can't bear to face their own emotions and experiences. They may try to push away thoughts and memories of the past that may have something to do with the reality they're trying to deny.
