A while ago I read an article where the author used the term “subconscious” and it miffed me.

In essence, it goes like this: Serious psychologists do not use the term because it is not possible to determine if the unconscious is above, below, left, right, in-front of, or behind us. You know, because it’s not a thing, and it’s not sent from the devil or hell, whatever Freud might have hypothesized.

The correct term is “unconscious”.

However, after being miffed a while, I determined that the term “subconscious” is good. It helps me weed out the pseudo psychologists that only wants me to think they know anything about psychology.

So now I think “subconscious” is a great word, and you should definitely use it if you feel like you should…
