I know this first hand and I’ve heard and seen it in others as well.<\/p>\n

“Childhood trauma can create an environment that is chaotic, unstable, or unpredictable. The impact of this instability can be profound and lifelong.<\/p>\n

For example, a child who grows up with an abusive or volatile parent may become hyper-vigilant toward their parent\u2019s moods so they can protect themselves. As an adult, they constantly scan their environment and may overanalyze other people\u2019s reactions, possibly predisposing them to an anxiety disorder. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When you grow up constantly on the lookout for the “next” danger that was coming your way, or constantly worried about your own safety as a result of other people’s moods and actions, that doesn’t just stop when you become an adult. And, when you cannot turn it off, that can easily roll right into an anxiety issue.<\/p>\n

And, I can also tell you firsthand that even when you do the therapy and some of the other suggestions from the article below, it can come back during especially stressful times.<\/p>\n

Like now.<\/p>\n

So, if this describes you, you’re not alone.<\/p>\n
