Abstract
Based on the continuous development of Cognitive Therapies, together with the contribution of Neuroscience, the aim of this research was to highlight the influence of the psychological impacts of the participants' childhoods on the development of anxious predispositions in their adult phases, as well as to identify the existence of possible psychological upheavals in relation to their caregivers or family nuclei, and possible negative experiences in school environments. The research methods were cross-sectional to obtain data, and the research was exploratory and descriptive, quantitative and qualitative, with simple random sampling of 260 participants aged between 25 and 45. By applying a thematic questionnaire about stressors experienced during childhood, as well as using the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), it was possible to verify that for each degree of anxiety, i.e. normal, mild, moderate and severe, there was an increasing number of childhood stressors. Participants with higher levels of anxiety therefore experienced more stressful situations in childhood than those with lower levels of anxiety. This highlights the importance of preserving functional human interactions in families and educational institutions for healthy psycho-emotional development in children and adults.
