Why does my brain subconsciously “refuse” to acknowledge things it doesn’t want to?

Okay I know the title sounds weird, so hear me out. I've had a lot of things happen these past few years that I haven't really dealt with. Instead, it seems like my brain put up a wall around all of this baggage, and everytime I try to think about it, I just can't seem to find anything. I know exactly what it is I'm trying to get through, I know exactly what happened, but it's like my brain refuses to acknowledge these things and won't let me deal with it. I know my brain and I are the same thing, but it feels like a piece of me is subconsciously trying to shield the rest of me from really looking deeply into the trauma. Does this make sense? Does anybody else have this?
