A form of ‘talking therapy’, it is based on the idea that our conscious thoughts and feelings are largely determined by unconscious impressions and desires, of which we are not only unaware, but which can often be at odds with our conscious beliefs and wants.

Psychoanalysis offers one of the few spaces where you are encouraged to practice ‘free speech’. You will notice arising of various thoughts, memories or feelings, which you'd like to dismiss, because ''this or that is not important or doesn't matter..." Something will successfully escape from being expressed, because "it's disgusting".
