The CA sees the interventions of therapists as the key triggers for patients' unconscious experiences in therapy, while MP ignores most of the implications of what therapists actually do and say in sessions, especially their unconscious meanings. These adaptive thoughts and behaviors have both conscious and unconscious sources and features. Unconscious death anxiety unwittingly motivates many destructive decisions, choices and actions. Perception has primacy over fantasy and memory-what we perceive at the moment is what we adapt to first and foremost. Past experiences and our memories and inner state affect how we cope, but our prime devotion is coping in the present.
Unconscious perception is a basic human resource.
Many of the most frightening things we perceive, and their most disturbing implications, are perceived unconsciously and conveyed through encoded stories. Decoding disguised messages in light of their triggers is critical to developing a sound picture of what you are reacting to unconsciously and the deeper reasons for why you do what you do and say what you say. First, a conscious system connected directly to awareness. This system creates manifest or surface messages and is responsible for daily coping efforts. It also is system that screens out and denies many important emotionally-charged meanings and experiences because their implications are unbearable to behold.
