What is Separation Anxiety?

Separation anxiety happens when intense fear or distress is triggered by being apart from a loved one, home, or a place of safety. While often associated with children, separation anxiety can affect adults too, causing overwhelming worry, clinginess, or physical symptoms when faced with being apart. For adults, it may show up as fear of losing a loved one, difficulty being alone, or intrusive thoughts about potential danger.

It can be rooted in past trauma, attachment challenges, or significant life changes. Understanding what drives these feelings is an important first step toward managing them and restoring balance.
