Sometimes it takes a lot of time, and a lot of help from others, not to mention, taking a good look in the mirror, to be able to look back and say, "Hey, that positive thinking was a tactic of denial."

But, I don't think the subconscious has total roam--we are definitely capable of being introspective and really seeing the motives behind our behaviors, as long as we remain connected to our feelings.

Can you give me an example of someone who isn't connected to their feelings, or thoughts?
