Present life trigger theory

NOTE: This is purley my personal belif and is not meant to offend anybody.

I belive in spirits/souls and past lives. I belive that you gain pieces to your soul once you have a past life of it. But why do I not feel human? I believe a variety of phycological factors including nerodivergence and trauma triggered something in me that led me to therianthropy. I basically believe that something in this life triggered my past lives, and that my soul may be trying to protect me. Whatever the cause I know I am a therian and have and will always feel this way. Remember: having a past life does not make you a therian, and therianthropy isn't about past lives. It's about the experiance in this present life.

Please correct me if any of my info isn't accurate. :3
This is not the explanation for all therians, it is just a theory for my therianthropy and anyone who feels this might be them. I believe everyone's explanation for their therianthropy is right for them.

I definitely relate to how you connected psycological and spiritual theories here!

Personally, I believe in animism (so animals, plants, microorganisms, natural spiritually significant objects like rocks and natural phenomenon like lightning can all have souls), and I also believe souls can have limitless lives.

I think souls have their own preferred forms, so one soul might only reincarnate into one sole species, or another may only reincarnate into predatory mammals or creatures in the animal Kingdom, or maybe just plants, etc.

But aside from my spirituality, I think I have my specific theriotypes and connections because I was able to connect with them through my current life.
I was exposed to a very nature-loving family, I had cats around me since I was born, I watched media with a lot of specific animals, and this exposure made me imprint on certain animals! Then, this imprinting almost opened up the gate to my spiritual world, yknow?

But of course I still believe I was innately meant to be an animal because my souls preferance includes canines and felines, but my identity was certainly elevated by the world around me.
Sooo it's kind of like a mix of nature and nurture for me!

But anywho, I'm yapping- I really liked your thread :3
See ya around!

I also believe in animism. :3 I really like ur explanation about how ur therianthropy came from! ty!

I like reading different points of view on this topic. I believe in past lives too and I do think me having past life can overlap with my current one. As if I know im human, but sometimes the animal traits take over as if those memories or traits are still connected to me and are triggerred by things that have been part of that past life too. I am bad at explaining things but I tried to be very simple.
