The Power of our Subconscious Mind
Why do we behave differently from our desires? Why prioritize work over family despite valuing family? Why do we lose our temper and then regret it? Why opt for social media over nature when feeling frustrated afterwards? Why do we feel inexplicable anxiety at times?
The power of our subconscious mind dictates much of our behaviour and feelings. Relying on behavior patterns which ensure our survival as children, our “Protective Mind” operates independent of our will, relieving our conscious mind of routine decisions. However, it is precisely those subconscious patterns which create many of our challenges.
Uncovering and appreciating these mechanisms is crucial to influencing them. Discover more about this process in the video or continue reading “here.”
Our Key Discovery –
the Human Needs Map
Marshall Rosenberg’s Non-violent Communication links emotions to human needs. The Human Needs Map, developed by Dr. Deborah Heifetz, explores this connection. Published in MIT’s Journal of Awareness-Based Systems Change, the map illustrates how individual and social needs intertwine, influencing our emotional experiences. Each need is supported by a distinct emotional spectrum, shaping our experiences. Watch the video or continue reading to delve into the specifics of this transformative model.
When caretakers don’t respond appropriately when a child expresses emotions to get its needs met, the Protective Mind adapts by making certain needs more important and numbing others. While this strategy helps the child minimize pain, it is likely the cause of problems later in life. To learn more about the distorting effect of childhood experiences and messages, and the problems they create later in life, watch the video or read here…
A Journey to Understanding Emotions and Fulfillment
The Human Needs Map helps us work with our “Protective Mind”, which both supported us to cope with the challenges of our childhood and develop our present strengths. The Map shows how these Needs Imbalances are also a driving force behind our difficulties – imbalances in priorities, self-sabotaging behaviour, conflicts, lack of inner serenity and peace.
The challenge is to become the Master of our Mind with our “Protective Mind” not in control but an ally. Consciously shaping life and responding in a way which creates the future we desire.
Attempting change creates resistance – the “Protective Mind” does not easily let go of the beliefs and patterns which once ensured our survival. And it is a scary journey to confronts undigested pain of the past. The Human Needs Map gives us confidence that we are on the right path, helps us better regulate our triggers and guides us to the wounds that need healing.

About BraveHearts
BraveHearts was co-founded by a married couple: Dr. Deborah Heifetz, an American Israeli whose family barely escaped the holocaust in 1938, and Frieder Krups, son of a German Wehrmacht officer. They both remember the Halloween Party in our senior year at MIT where we met the first time – Deborah an extravagantly expressive purple witch with wild curly hair, Frieder a straight-haired restrained slim nerdy jock.
It took almost 30 years and two failed marriages before we met each other again – now mature enough to appreciate each other’s differences and perspectives. Frieder, with a vision to use his experience in family business to revitalize impoverished communities, and Deborah, an accomplished anthropologist and peace scholar with the knowledge of how to energize community and mobilize women. You can learn more about us here – both as individuals and how our vision to build bridges between worlds has become increasingly interwoven.
