This book delves into the neuropsychology of the unconscious, exploring why individuals resist self-awareness and change. It argues that deeply ingrained emotional and behavioral patterns, shaped by early experiences and neural pathways, drive this resistance. Therapy is presented as a space to uncover and modify these unconscious self-systems through empathy and reflection. The text examines how both patients and therapists encounter resistance and repetition, emphasizing that lasting change requires disrupting rigid neural patterns. Through case studies, it highlights the power of unconscious convictions, the challenges of altering entrenched personality structures, and the intergenerational transmission of trauma. By integrating affect and cognition, the book reveals how therapeutic approaches can facilitate deep psychological transformation.
