Editing Defence mechanism (section)

=== Level 7: High-adaptative defences ===
This level of defences allow individuals to cope with stressors, challenges, and trauma. Mechanisms, such as [[Sublimation (psychology)|sublimation]], affiliation, self-assertion, suppression, [[altruism]], anticipation, humor, and [[Self-awareness|self-observation]] play a role in building resilience. They allow individuals to redefine challenges in a beneficial way that maximizes positivity. In doing so, they enhance their psychological well-being and encourage adaptation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Di Giuseppe |first1=Mariagrazia |last2=Perry |first2=J.
