[Freud] said, “Do not interrupt the free flow of your associations.” But he also assumed that the Censor was the servant of embarrassment, and thus spoke Freud: “Do not be embarrassed.” Precisely with these two taboos he interrupted the patent’s experience of his embarrassment and his experience of its dissolution. This results in a desensitization, an inability to experience embarrassment, or even (and this applies still more to patients in Reichian therapy) in overcompensating brazenness. What has to be tackled in therapy is not the censored material but the censoring itself, the form that self interruption takes. Again, we cannot work from the inside out, but only from the outside in.
