Conscious and unconscious disagreement is an enormous problem and seems to be especially challenging for those with mental illness.
For example, I absolutely love the autumn...the cool weather, the colors, the softness. However, the moment summer turns to autumn - BANG - I feel extremely anxious and have an awful sensation of doom. Have to increase my meds. Count the hours until my next therapy appointment. Use every coping tool I've learned over the years. That's just one example. The conscious and unconscious mind...I guess that's what Freud was working on when he invented psychotherapy.
