People will argue that no serious person will use the term subconscious when the greats like Freud and Jung used ‘the unconscious mind’ almost exclusively.  I am aware of this and the use subconscious intentionally.  Unconscious has come to mean knocked out, asleep, and powerless.  This made sense as initially Freud was mainly mapping and record details of the conscience, without a reason to think it was different than heart rate or a spinal reflex to a burn on your hand.

Secondly Freud had no idea that humanity was two completely different behavioral sets.  They thought all the terrible things that any person did could be part of any human unconscious.  They couldn’t know that the conscience was simply missing in some cases.  Widespread testing and understanding of psychopaths wouldn’t come for nearly another hundred years.

Of course this changed as psychoanalysis progressed and grew.  Modern psychology is very optimistic that a genetically healthy, disease free person can be helped to reach their emotional memory in total via therapy.  I think they are likely correct.  I see no reason to cling to the fatalist ‘unconscious,’ when describing the subconscious mind.
