Originally derived from Sigmund Freud, psychoanalytic patients were invited to relate whatever came to their minds during an analytic session, not to censor their thoughts at all.
To help explain this method Freud would often use this analogy: "Act as though, for instance, you were a traveler sitting next to the window of a railway carriage and describing to someone inside the carriage the changing views which you see outside."
"Finally, never forget that you have promised to be absolutely honest, and never leave anything out because, for some reason or other, it is unpleasant to tell it." Freud, Sigmud (1913). On the beginning of Treatment.
