Many people are skeptical that such thing as the unconscious actually exists. Certainly, there is no way to physically grasp the unconscious but the clinical evidence in support of it speaks quite loudly. In fact, Freud discovered the unconscious at a time when he used hypnosis as a treatment modality with his patients.The unconscious mind is still viewed by many psychological scientists as the shadow of a “real” conscious mind, though there now exists substantial evidence that the unconscious is not identifiably less flexible, complex, controlling, deliberative, or action-oriented than is its counterpart.
Specifically, he discovered that he could plant a thought into his patient’s mind under hypnosis that the patient executed into an action after being released from the hypnotic state, having no recollection of the fact that Freud asked them to do the action in the first place. Instead, the patient fabricated an explanation and was convinced in its validity. Freud then realized that there must be a part of the patient’s mind where the thought he planted remained inaccessible or unconscious.
Believe it or not, the unconscious does exist and psychoanalytic practice, which has changed dramatically since its invention, has proven it over and over again throughout the years. The question is, do you want to know about your unconscious? Do you wish to have a deeper understanding of yourself and your actions?
Enjoy reading and be open to the things that world has to offer.
