Stardust actress Claire Danes has undergone therapy for the past 22-years, in a bid to overcome her neurosis. The 28-year-old first began therapy at the tender age of six - when her parents discovered she was afraid of her imaginary friends.
She says, "I was getting to be a bit of a neurotic mess, so my parents thought therapy might do me good. But ultimately I became more scared of my therapists than I was of these imaginary creatures."
Danes, who studied psychology at Yale University, eventually overcame her fear and now attends weekly therapy sessions - insisting the process has helped her acting career.
She adds, "I've benefited enormously from therapy. It's made me more self-aware and safer. It's given me a chance to reflect on my experiences and my feelings. To name them, identify them and organize them into some kind of shape."
