Unconscious mind in Freudian psychology

According to Kendra Cherry, MSEdm, "In Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the unconscious mind is a collection of thoughts, feelings, memories, and urges that are outside of conscious awareness. Freud believed that the unconscious mind influences behavior even when people are unaware of these influences. He also believed that many emotions, desires, and feelings are repressed or held out of awareness because they are too threatening."^[2]
