WHERE THE CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS
MIND INTERSECT
The critical line is the thin line of the iceberg that is
just on the surface of the water. It separates your conscious from your unconscious mind.
Our communication is improved when we make our
conscious and unconscious minds collaborate, i.e. when
we manage to move freely over the critical line.
Have you ever noted how some introverts become extroverts after a couple of cocktails? How they suddenly
speak with ease and freely? Well, there, the critical
line has been inhibited: obviously, alcohol is not the
only way to do so. This is something I practice with my
clients.
When we are facing a given situation, our mind acts like
a computer and uses our unconscious mind to analyze
the data received through our nervous system and senses. To analyze the data, our unconscious mind will use
all of our past experiences’ references. Therefore, each
one of us will have a unique representation of a situation. However, we all have our own typical way of representing a situation to ourselves. Some people have to
see relationships between things. Some people will need
to hear it. Some people will need a grasp or a feel for it.
While some others would need to have things explained
and spelled out to be able to move forward.
QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU BRIDGE THE COMMUNICATION GAP WITH YOUR CLIENTS,
FRIENDS & FAMILY:
If you are a speaker are your visuals good enough to
captivate those who need to see things?
Are you incorporating well-structured and original
stories for those who need to hear it out?
If you’re selling an online service, are you giving enough
details for it to be fully understood?
About the Author
For example, haven’t you ever been to a party and
thought it was awful? However, the next day you talk to
a friend about it and she says that it was amazing?
I used to be upset when I tried to explain things to my
partner and he did not get it. I felt like I was speaking
to a wall.
However it is not the case, firstly, my process of logical
implications is different than his. Secondly, I need to
feel things and as such, it will often be about feelings
and thoughts when I am talking to him, whereas he is
not and rather prefers to see things. For example, if I
talk to my boyfriend about putting our sofa against a
different wall of our living room, he needs to see how
the sofa would actually look there. There’s no point
discussing it for hours.
Once we have developed an understanding of our mind
and of how we all have a unique way of representing
things, it helps us communicate better with family,
friends or clients. It is important that we communicate in a way that is meaningful to a wide range of our
audience.
