I believe the answer is:

egotrip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the personal importance of freud's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'holiday plans in a manner of speaking' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'holiday' could be 'trip' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'trip' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ego' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
