Free association is where the patient is asked to tell the psychoanalytic psychotherapist whatever comes into their head.
These free associations form chains of thought, which allow the therapist to access their patients' unconscious mind in order to source those traumas that make their patient neurotic.

 Free association (psychology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free association (Psychodynamic theory) is a technique used in psychology, devised by Sigmund Freud.
Freud's eventual practice of psychoanalysis focused not so much on the recall of these memories as on the internal mental conflicts which kept them buried deep within the mind, though the technique of free association still plays a role today in the study of the mind.

 Jungian psychology - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
Jungian psychology is a theory developed by Carl Gustav Jung, and is central to the Neopsychoanalytic school of psychology.
Jungian psychology is geared largely toward the nature of symbolism and the effects of attachment upon the ability of people to live their lives in ignorance of their deeper "symbolic" natures.
The attached, and therefore static meaning renders an amorphous symbol (like the sphere or the ouroboros) to a mere definition; no longer does it have the ability to be active in the mind as a "transformer of consciousness," free to associate with new experiences and thinking.
