Parts of the Mind
Subconscious or Unconscious - that part of our mind which is the seat of imagination, emotion, artistic abilities (and other skills), and which takes care of bodily functions without our conscious awareness, such as automatic functions of our organs, etc. Everything is learned by association and identification. The subconscious mind stores images, thoughts, ideas, concepts, and emotions.

Conscious - generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment. The conscious mind can reason, judge, analyze and criticize. It can accept or reject information based on the beliefs held within the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is where a person has willpower.

Critical Factor - An area of the mind that is part conscious and part subconscious. (If a suggestion is given to a client that is detrimental to their well-being or in total opposition to the client's beliefs, it will affect the critical area of the mind, and the client will reject it by abreacting.)
