How emotional disorders begin
That a fear ends up being a psychological problem is more likely if the following conditions are met:
People who are more nervous by nature (genetics) are more likely to have an emotional problem.
But that is not usually a sufficient condition for a fear disorder to appear. It has also been discovered that fear disorders are learned. In other words, our experiences in relation to certain situations are also very important: having a bad experience, not having done something or never or very little, having seen other people having a bad time during a particular situation or having seen or received news about a certain situation are experiences that influence our fear.
In short, our way of being and our experiences are the most important aspects to explain why a fear disorder appears. Knowing that the origin of that fear is in our way of being and in the lived experiences helps us to explain how and why an association is made between certain situations and the appearance of fear. In addition, (as will be explained later) it will be very useful to us to understand how the fear is solved.
