Causes For Depression and Anxiety
We’re born with a personality, but what events occur in our lives and how we interpret them will determine how we relate, react and think about situations.
Our brain is continually forming pathways that determine our thinking and behaviour, and we behave mostly based on our emotions.
Separation anxiety lives in our emotion from a young age, often caused by the trauma of losing a loved one. For this reason we may fear abandonment every time we begin a new relationship, while hoping it will last forever.
So what causes separation anxiety?
The most ideal environment for a child to grow healthy is within a caring family environment where their parents care for each other and care for them, and to know this will never change.
A person becomes prone to depression and anxiety when either one of these conditions are missing in their life. In most cases they will over-react when they perceive things aren’t going well with the relationship, and will leave rather than go through the pain of being abandoned.
The good news is there is hope when such trauma has taken place. Through counselling and therapy benefits can be healing and life transforming.
