Ufortrængt

Ufortrængt is a Danish adjective that translates to "unrepressed" or "unsuppressed" in English. It describes a state where feelings, thoughts, or desires are not held back or consciously prevented from surfacing. In a psychological context, it can refer to emotions or memories that are naturally expressed or recalled without internal resistance.

The term can be used in various situations. For instance, an artist might be described as working in an "ufortrængt" manner if their creative output is spontaneous and authentic, free from self-censorship. Similarly, someone might have an "ufortrængt" reaction to a situation, meaning their response is immediate and genuine, without any attempt to mask their true feelings.

The opposite of "ufortrængt" would imply suppression or repression, where certain aspects of oneself are deliberately or unconsciously kept from conscious awareness or expression. The concept of being "ufortrængt" often carries connotations of honesty, authenticity, and a lack of inhibition. It suggests a directness in how one experiences and communicates their inner world.
