Episode 2: Understanding the Subconscious Mind
May 12, 2024 Season 1 Episode 2
Clancy Barton and Carolanne Ashley

In this episode, Carolanne Ashley and Clancy Barton discuss the workings of the subconscious mind and why it's difficult for people to understand their own mind.

Key topics covered include:

  1. The Basics of the Mind:
    • Conscious Mind: Described as the logical and rational 'adult' part of the mind.
    • Subconscious Mind: Referred to as the emotional, imaginative 'child', handling automatic thoughts, patterns, and beliefs.
  2. Understanding the Subconscious:
    • How the subconscious shapes reactions, habits, and feelings, often beneath conscious awareness.
    • The Iceberg Model - Visible part (conscious) and the hidden large part (subconscious).
  3. Learning and Habits Formation:
    • Importance of early childhood in shaping the subconscious.
    • Role of neural pathways in reinforcing habits and beliefs.
  4. Role of Subconscious in Daily Activities:
    • Automatic processing, such as driving, where the subconscious allows multitasking.
  5. Subconscious and Emotions:
    • Connection between emotional responses and subconscious imprints from past experiences (e.g., fear of spiders).
  6. Biases and Beliefs:
    • How the subconscious mind confirms existing beliefs and filters out conflicting information through the "critical faculty".
  7. Practical Implications:
    • Influence of subconscious programming on behavior and life choices.
    • Use of hypnotherapy to modify subconscious programming and overcome personal challenges like stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders


Reflections: The power of the subconscious mind and its pervasive influence on life choices and mental health.

Next Episode: Exploring the connection between subconscious mind and sleep patterns, with practical strategies for better sleep.

Tip of the Week: Monitor and adjust internal dialogues to foster positive self-talk.

What you can do next: Reflect on personal subconscious influences and tune in for strategies on managing sleep issues in the next episode.
