packaging up the problem 是什麼意思

查看翻譯

In the South, packaging up a problem is worse than suppressing a problem. When someone packages up a problem, they use denial to make the problem seem like something that it is not, then pretending to have closure. For example: Say a girl is sexually abused by her older brother. Instead of facing up to the abuse and working through it, she talks herself into believing that her brother was only horseplaying with her and he never took his behavior to an unhealthy extreme. That denial and mislabeling of her sexual abuse is packaging up her sexual abuse. Well, at least that's how we use the term here in the South.
