She's going through some stuff and i explained to her your reality is what you make of it, and she said "My reality is subject to my emotions and whatever my brain decides I should see and hear". I'm not sure how to tell her that that is inaccurate and how it is inaccurate in the first place.
What I was thinking of saying is something like "I know for a fact a persons reality is ofc affected by their emotions, but your conscious mind can be the filter of those negative emotions and thoughts and not let it become absorbed into your subconscious. The subconscious mind is malleable too, you can change those deep seated subconscious beliefs and fears and whatever"
Do you think that's a good response? What else should I add to make it more accurate?
seems pretty accurate to me. Women experience the world differently than men. You explaining logic to her, isn't going to help your position.
