A

Bringing unconscious thoughts into awareness, providing an insight into where the disorder may be coming from. This gets rid of the disorder from the inside

Using free association, Freud would look for mental blocks (stopping mid-thought to prevent saying something or changing the subject), which show resistance

began to interpret why these blocks existed.

eventually patient = more open & comfortable, expressing feelings with no problem (whether negative/positive).

When the patient did this, Freud would think they are transferring thoughts experienced in the past into the present. This then provides insight to complete the cycle

73
