The Mind Overrules Perception
Our affective reactions and our memory are somewhat independent. And the affective seems to work faster. That again might be tied to danger and avoiding danger that if there are things in the world that are dangerous to us, we better know it quickly and act quickly before we remember or not. We're using our mind to overcome our first reaction, which is to burst into tears and bursting into tears is or screaming. Neither of them will help us at this point. So that repressing it is is probably a good idea.
