Denial, isn't that a river in Egypt, that has crocodiles. Just kidding Denial can be a very dangerous thing depending on the lifestyle you are living, If you are heading down a path of self destruction, most people will deny it

Denial can be: -- a needed part of what we need to experience as part of our grief (loss) cycle .. be it re: death and dying or some other kind of life change or loss (disability, job, finances, etc) -- a dangerous thing that can keep us from acknowledging - and thus feeling or thinking or ADDRESSING - whatever it is we're avoiding. It can allow atrocities to happen - like what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany. It can ruin a marriage or even one person's ability to be "fully human". For the five stages of grief (a la Helen Kubler-Ross): (1) Denial (2) Anger (3) Bargaining (4) Depression (5) Acceptance .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%BCbler-Ross_model Great question. :)

It can be. If by embracing denial you do not hit the reset switch and perpetually put yourself in the same scenario it can be detrimental to your life. You need to learn from what caused you to go to denial.
