Subconsciousness is not a term that recently appeared in the language of psychology - it was introduced into use in the 20th century by the French psychologist Pierre Janet. Another figure who also contributed greatly to the development of psychology dealt with this issue - I am referring to Carl Jung.
We often oppose subconsciousness to consciousness. Consciousness is referred to as the ability to be aware of the existence of external stimuli (coming from the surrounding world) and internal stimuli (located, so to speak, within the organism, examples of such phenomena include thinking). In addition, thanks to consciousness, we have the ability to react to the aforementioned stimuli. The term consciousness is most closely associated with problems such as coma or clouding of consciousness, which are different forms of consciousness disorders. Another term associated with consciousness is, in turn, subconsciousness. What is this subconsciousness and why does it arouse such interest that even books are written about it?
What is subconsciousness?
There probably isn't one universal definition of subconsciousness. However, it can be simply defined as a part of human psyche in which contents that are not consciously realized by a person at a given moment are stored. In such a case, subconsciousness can be treated as a kind of warehouse in which various emotions and memories experienced throughout life are located. It functions together with consciousness in an inseparable way - consciousness allows us to make various decisions or think about what we want at a given moment. Subconsciousness, on the other hand, completely without our knowledge, influences our behavior during that time. For example: we encounter a completely new situation, such as taking care of a newborn baby. Consciousness makes us aware that we need to handle the baby carefully and gently. Subconsciousness during this time can cause the emergence of fear in us - it is the memories present in it, associated with new situations and failures experienced during them, that lead to the emergence of such emotions.
