This defense mechanism is known as blocking. It’s where the victim either truly forgets the events that happened to him or her or they pretend to not remember to avoid the pain.

Answer:

This defense mechanism is called Emotional block.

Explanation:

Emotional block is a defense mechanism in which the unconscious hides pain memories to avoid suffering. When this happens, however, the painful situation does not cease to exist: it begins to manifest unconsciously, reflecting negatively on the person's life without his or her awareness.

These repressed and blocked emotions are perceived as a foreign body by the body, turning into limiting illnesses and patterns that can lead life to failure.
