The unconscious mind is alive and well in each of us, and has powerful effects on our everyday functioning, influencing our emotions, memories, and self-perception.
Every school of thought in psychotherapy is premised on the idea that past experiences influence the present, showing that our current feelings are filtered through previous expectations.
Shedler states that feelings and conflicts from the past can leak into the present, indicating that unresolved issues, especially anger, are commonplace in many individuals.
The unconscious beliefs and desires not only shape our emotions but also complicate them, particularly in romantic interests that conflict with our self-imposed constraints.
