We all had our hard times throughout our lives. Life is never meant to be easy, hence all of us have our share of bad times to go through. It is part of learning to improve and moving on. Some of our experiences, let it be from during our childhood days or some traumatic event such as accidents, can affect our mind deeply. These events are stored in your subconscious that acts like a repository.
In Freud's opinion the unconscious mind has a will and purpose of its own that cannot be known to the conscious mind (hence the reason why it is called the "unconscious") and is a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of psychological repression. Excerpt from Wikipedia on Subconscious.
These events can create many psychological issues that affect us. It is responsible for all your phobias, unexplainable anger, judgmental character, and the times where we just hate something and we do not know why. This is where it all comes from. Therefore, we need a way to clear it, throw those rubbish away from our mind, so we can have a more focused thinking that is not affected by all this experience.
