I'm trying to remember a word: it's, I believe, a psychology term, and it means to take a negative and to transform and elevate it into a positive. It's on the tip of my tongue, so if anyone could help me out I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks.

Hooray for me!!! I remembered: the word is sublimate! Sigh: sigh: sigh: my brain seems to take approximately an hour to remember words I used to recall in nanoseconds when I was on Vyvanse....
Shhh... it's okay, Vyvanse, don't cry; daddy is coming home soon.
