We provide treatment for individuals who are experiencing a range of mental health disorders including anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, and dual diagnosis conditions. Separation anxiety disorder is an example of a mental health condition that commonly affects children, but can affect adults as well. We are going to spend time talking about this fear of separation, and how treatment can help you learn to manage your symptoms.
Separation anxiety disorder is a mental health condition that can cause significant emotional distress when being separated from an attachment figure. For adults, this anxiety response could be tied to their romantic partner, a family member, or a child. Common symptoms include clinginess, having a fear of a loved one being harmed, and having a reluctance to be apart from your attachment figure.
Adults who are struggling with excessive worry related to separation can experience symptoms ranging in severity, from mild to severe. Symptoms can affect your daily functioning, work, and school.
The exact cause of separation anxiety disorder is still unknown. Researchers believe that it’s a combination of factors like genetics, life events, and your environment. Certain disturbances to the natural chemicals in your brain can contribute to mental health conditions, including separation anxiety disorder. Additionally, significant life changes like moving, trauma, or divorce can trigger the onset of symptoms.
Adults who experienced adverse childhood experiences may have developed insecure relationship patterns that have continued in later years. This can increase a person’s risk of developing separation anxiety disorder. Additionally, those who have other mental health conditions and those who grew up with overprotective parents may have a higher risk of developing this condition.
A separation anxiety disorder treatment program provides specialized treatment targeting your specific symptoms. Depending on your needs, this can include the use of individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and educational sessions. The care you receive will be dependent on the symptoms you experience and their severity.
These treatment programs aim to help you learn to cope with and manage your anxiety symptoms, strengthen a relationship, and develop various coping strategies. Holistic treatment centers can provide you with evidence-based and holistic approaches, for whole-person care.

Separation anxiety disorder can have differences among those who are living with this condition. You may experience different symptoms, triggers, and impairments from your symptoms compared to others. Continue reading for a brief overview of variations seen within separation anxiety disorder:
Childhood separation anxiety disorder can affect children. This causes children to experience excessive worry and anxiety regarding separation from their parents or other caregiver. This is more common among young children who are in early developmental stages, though it can continue into later childhood years.
Adult separation anxiety disorder can cause an intense fear about being separated from your partner, family, children, or even close friends. For some, this condition began in childhood and has turned into a chronic condition. Others develop separation anxiety disorder as an adult. This condition can have a significant impact on your life, making it challenging to manage your responsibilities.
Situational separation anxiety is a form of separation anxiety disorder that is triggered by a specific event or experience. This can include traveling or starting a new school. These symptoms tend to be temporary, but they can feel intense or overwhelming as you adjust to the transition that has occurred.
Chronic separation anxiety disorder is a long-term condition that can last for several months, or even years in some cases. Those who are living with chronic separation anxiety disorder may require consistent and complex treatment from a behavioral health center. Depending on the severity of symptoms, you may require inpatient care.
Acute separation anxiety is known for causing intense, but short-lived symptoms. These symptoms are commonly triggered by sudden changes. Often, this form of separation anxiety is often resolved when the triggering stressor is removed. Treatment can vary, based on the symptoms that you experience.
Separation anxiety disorder can be focused on a specific attachment figure. This can be a single individual, like a parent or partner. For some, it can even be a pet. You may find yourself experiencing clinical anxiety levels when you’re separated from your person. This can cause significant distress and disruption to your daily life.
For some, co-occurring conditions can be present at the same time as a separation anxiety disorder. This can include conditions like panic disorder which is known for recurring panic attacks. Those living with a co-occurring disorder often require comprehensive care from an integrative treatment center.

Treatments aim to help reduce symptoms, and improve your ability to cope with the emotional distress you experience. Examples of commonly used treatments include:
Yoga therapy combines physical movement with the use of mindfulness and breathing exercises. This approach promotes relaxation and introduces emotion regulation skills. This can reduce your overall anxiety levels, and help you cope with the emotional distress associated with your mental health conditions.

Social skills training can help you learn effective communication and assertiveness skills. You can also learn about healthy boundaries within relationships, and how to form new relationships. This approach can help reduce social anxiety and help you gain a sense of autonomy.
Psychodynamic therapy can be used to explore your deep-rooted conflicts and previous experiences. The focus of this approach is understanding your unconscious thoughts. This can help you identify underlying patterns that contribute to your emotional distress and attachment issues. You can then work to address these underlying conflicts and thoughts.
Exposure therapy includes a gradual exposure to your feared situation, such as separation from a partner, child, or loved one. The goal of this is to desensitize this trigger and decrease the emotional distress you experience. This can increase your confidence, and reduce your use of avoidance behaviors.
Life skills training often focuses on introducing you to practical everyday skills that can improve your daily functioning. This can include time management skills, emotion regulation skills, and improving your communication patterns. Life skills training is often incorporated into both inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment centers.
Mindfulness-based therapies can be used to help you gain the skills and knowledge you need to remain in the present moment. This can help decrease rumination patterns, and help you get out of a persistent state of worry. Mindfulness practices can also be used as effective coping strategies for anxiety, providing various benefits.
CBT for social anxiety can help you identify your negative thought patterns or belief that contribute to your separation anxiety disorder symptoms. You’ll learn effective tools to challenge these anxiety-driven thoughts, which can have a positive impact on your feelings and behaviors. CBT can help you build resiliency as well.
