As therapists, you’ve likely encountered clients who feel persistently “stuck” or unable to break through specific challenges, even after diligent work in therapy. Whether it's a habit they can't break, recurring emotional patterns, or an underlying issue that seems just beyond reach, it often points to something deeper—a subconscious block. In many cases, the subconscious mind operates as a powerful driver behind clients’ thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Understanding how to access and work with it can be the key to unlocking true progress and healing.
Signs of a Subconscious Block
Recognizing when a client might have a subconscious block requires us to look beyond what’s immediately visible in their behaviors and responses. Here are a few common signs that may suggest subconscious interference:
Unexplained Inertia in Key Areas
Clients who logically want to move forward but face invisible barriers may have unresolved subconscious issues. Ask them where they feel stalled or unsuccessful despite their best efforts.
Emotional Conflicts and Limiting Beliefs
When clients experience inner resistance—like anxiety around progress or a strong sense of “not deserving” something—they may be wrestling with subconscious beliefs formed from past experiences or misinterpretations.
Patterns of Procrastination and Self-Sabotage
If a client is consistently putting off important tasks, especially those aligned with their goals, it may signal a subconscious effort to avoid perceived (even if inaccurate) consequences.
Physical Reactions to Specific Thoughts or Tasks
Physical symptoms—tightness, avoidance behaviors, or other discomfort—can indicate that the subconscious is associating the task or thought with a past event or unresolved feeling.
An Illustrative Case: The Dissertation Dilemma
A client of mine once faced an unusual issue while working on her PhD. She would constantly procrastinate, finding reasons to delay her work. Then, one morning, she found herself unable to remember how to turn on her computer. This peculiar moment led her to realize that there might be something deeper at play. Through our work together, we uncovered that she and her husband had agreed to re-evaluate their marriage once her PhD was complete. Subconsciously, her mind associated finishing the dissertation with potentially ending her marriage—leading her to stall. Once we addressed the subconscious block, she was able to approach her work without resistance.
