If the listener is not there, how do you know the unconscious speaks?
You cannot control the unconscious.
When you are analysed you do not acquire mastery of the unconscious.
You are not safe from the surprises of the unconscious if you're analysed, but let's say you're enlightened on your unconscious, you're suposedly able to read your unconscious.
it's difficult to speak of the unconscious of an analysed person. In some way it's depleted... because generally when you finish your analysis you're older than when you began. Quite older so you don't know if it's the effect of age or the effect of analysis. In some way it speaks more clearly.
So you don't get self control through psychoanalysis. You get a capacity to dialogue with your unconscious and to put it to use. To work with it. That would be the true promise of psychoanalysis.

Health is the silence of the organs. Health is: the body will not speak.
