Conscious and Unconscious: What's the Difference?

The conscious and unconscious, two pillars of our mental functioning, are distinctly different.

  • Conscious

    The conscious is what you have full control over at any given moment.

    This is where your rational thoughts, voluntary decisions, and your ability to actively process information reside. When you choose what to eat for dinner or decide which way to take home, it’s your conscious mind that's in charge.

  • Unconscious

    The unconscious, on the other hand, remains outside your immediate awareness.

    It holds thoughts, feelings, memories, and motivations that operate behind the scenes. Even though you may not always be aware of it, the unconscious plays a crucial role in regulating many aspects of your behavior and emotions. Your automatic reactions, habits, deeply ingrained fears—these are often driven by your unconscious mind.

Understanding the difference and their importance can radically transform how you approach your behaviors, emotions, and thoughts.

Why is it so crucial to address our unconscious mind?

  1. 1. Hypnosis and stress management:

    A notable study by Hammond (2007) examined the effectiveness of hypnosis in reducing stress in individuals with anxiety disorders. The results showed that participants who underwent hypnotherapy sessions experienced a significant reduction in stress and anxiety levels compared to those who did not receive treatment.

    Similarly, a meta-analysis by Jensen and Patterson (2014) confirmed hypnosis's effectiveness in reducing stress, highlighting its potential to induce deep relaxation and promote emotional well-being.

  2. 2. Hypnosis and pain management:

    Several studies have also examined the effectiveness of hypnosis in pain management. Research conducted by Montgomery et al. (2000) showed that hypnotherapy was effective in reducing pain in cancer patients, notably by lowering the perception of pain intensity and improving their overall quality of life.

    Additionally, a systematic review by Elkins et al. (2007) concluded that hypnosis is a promising treatment for chronic pain, with evidence supporting its effectiveness in conditions such as fibromyalgia, headaches, and pain associated with gastrointestinal disorders.

  3. 3. Hypnosis and improved sleep:

    Hypnosis has also been studied for its impact on sleep quality. A randomized controlled trial by Cordi et al. (2014) examined the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating insomnia. The results showed that participants who received hypnosis sessions reported a significant improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in insomnia symptoms compared to the control group.

    Similarly, a meta-analysis by Graci (2017) confirmed the benefits of hypnosis for sleep, highlighting its effectiveness in inducing deep relaxation and promoting sleep onset.

  4. 4. Hypnosis and improved performance:

    In terms of cognitive and physical performance, hypnosis has also proven useful. A study by Landry et al. (2017) examined the effect of hypnosis on sports performance and found a significant improvement in concentration, self-confidence, and mastery of skills in athletes who underwent hypnotherapy sessions.

    Additionally, research by Nutt et al. (2015) explored the impact of hypnosis on academic performance, highlighting a significant improvement in academic results and memory in students who participated in hypnotherapy sessions.
