(Case Study) The Repressed Artist: Subconscious Sabotage

Jul 03, 2024

Case Study: The Repressed Artist

Scenario: Sarah, an artist by nature, was highly creative from a young age. She loved painting, pottery, and sculpture work. However, she was born in the 1950s in Australia, a time when patriarchal Christian values dominated, often suppressing the feminine spirit.

Subconscious Belief: Sarah internalised the belief that her creative passions were not important and that her primary role was to be a good wife and serve men, as dictated by her family and societal norms.

Manifestation of Self-Sabotage:

  • Suppressed Creativity: Sarah abandoned her artistic pursuits, believing they were unworthy and impractical.

  • Compliance and Self-Denial: She conformed to societal expectations, rejecting her true self to fit into the role of the perfect wife.

  • Marriage Dynamics: She married a man who mirrored her family’s patriarchal values, perpetuating her belief that her own desires were secondary.

Key Insight: "Subconscious beliefs instilled by family and society can lead to the suppression of one's true self, resulting in unfulfillment and internal conflict."

Understanding the Conflict: The subconscious mind is a powerful force that drives your behaviour without you even realising it. Recognising patterns of self-sabotaging behaviours and understanding that these patterns are driven by underlying subconscious beliefs is key. When subconscious fears or negative beliefs conflict with your conscious goals, it leads to self-sabotaging behaviours.
