How does Freud's ideas help you understand yourself?

It helps me understand the impulses that I have under a certain situation.

Explanation:

To put it simply, Freud popularized the concept of subconscious mind that influence our behavior without we even being aware of it.

For me personally, i always have always been claustrophobic. Every time i found myself being in a small confined place, I can't help but to feel very anxious and experience breathing difficulties.

I never knew the reason for this until my Mom told me a story of my childhood. She said that long time ago, she found me being accidentally locked in the bathroom by my brothers when we're playing while our parents were away. She found me sobbing uncontrollably when she found me.

According to Freud's theory, that kind of event could resulted in everlasting impact on my psychological condition. Which might explain why small confined space makes me feel a little bit traumatized.
