as you say psychologically impair, yes, I suppose so, but subliminal is usually meant as a message having some meaning or association so there is a subtle distintion.
In personal experience, the odd time I found that I was feeling very uncomfortable while reading something and began to realize it had something to do with past troublesome matters but I couldn't at first think why they had made their return just then. As I kept feeling uncomfortable I had to stop and think it over, eventually I realized that a remark in the text was reminescent of something that had to do with something that had to do with those past troubles, but I hadn't fully noticed the connection while following the line of the topic I was reading.
There can be so many things going on in parts of our mind at once, some of them nearer to our awarenes than others. I think that's what's behind the subliminal mechanism.
