Woody Allen, a famous director, writer, and actor—pretty much a jack of all trades in the media world—spent 37 years undergoing psychoanalysis.
For those of you that don't know, psychoanalysis is a set of psychological theories and associated techniques that help figure out what is causing someone to be upset. Psychoanalysis was created and made popular by Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer.
Woody Allen's fascination with psychoanalysis was reflected constantly through his work. According to those close to him, Allen found psychoanalysis fascinating, stimulating, and exciting.
Through psychoanalysis, Woody Allen found that he was, and still is, claustrophobic and agoraphobic. Essentially, he is afraid of both small and large spaces.
