my explanation to my therainthropy!

My personal explanation to my therianthropy,

I believe that at birth, I was born as a human. As I grew up in a household surrounded by abuse and violence, something about my humanity disappeared, as if it was “ripped” from me or taken.

This is likely because when I was young and my household was undergoing issues, my human survival instincts weren’t working to keep me safe, therefore animal spirits somehow altered my subconscious, making my instincts more animalistic in order to keep me safe.

(Personally, my spiritual belief is that I do not understand how the otherworld works and will not until I die, but I do think that angels/spirits/ghosts/energies exist in some way, shape, or form.)

This affected my ability to function within social settings, and how I reacted to certain events. My brain gained a “survival” perspective onto mundane tasks, and everyday events.

I felt like my life would be better if i was born an animal, my human body felt wrong and was unable to do the things I wanted it to.

Um, I don't really know how to finish this, but that's why I consider myself a therian

A few important notes -

* Many of the negative experiences with therianthropy I have are also symptoms of the conditions C-PTSD or BPD. I may get a diagnosis soon of one for these soon from my therapist.

* This explains my theriotype because it was not one animal species that my instincts are inlined with, rather it was many species of animals all becoming one with me. My subconscious clinged onto cats or cat-like creatures as my theriotype, because I was already enamored with them from childhood, so that's what I label my theriotype as despite having traits of other animals.

* This also explains my angel kintype, because my subconscious was changed by animal spirits, so of course my theriotypes are also animal spirits. I’ve also considered that my angel kintype is because I’ve been exposed to trauma that felt like life or death, and maybe because of that I spiritually died, but not physically, but I’m not sure about this.

* This is not the only explanation I believe is possible for therianthropy. I think that what creates therianthropy is another part of you that is an animal, that became aligned with your humanself in some way. Some are born with it (maybe due to past lives, alternate universes, or just because that's how they were born), others acquiring it through, as I described, trauma or something else spiritually/neurologically.

* I am young and somewhat recently (two years ago) discovered my therianthropy. I’m learning more about it everyday, so this theory might change as I find out more about myself.

* This is all what I personally think! I try to keep my views about spirituality as general and open as possible because in the end, there's no way I can know anything about this for sure. Feel free to share your own thoughts!

Hopefully that makes sense, I am writing this as I am going through a (hypomanic) bipolar episode AND trying to distract myself from a loss, so forgive me if its messy :,3

I am like that too, my kitsune is dual, I am not a demon and not quite an angel, I am looking for myself, I am not a person, I do not know who I am......

I really like this explanation! I've always loved hearing about why people are therians because the experience itself is so bizarre and interesting.

I have another little theory about why you're an angel to put out there: oftentimes children, if they spend enough time around something, it will rub off on them and they'll subconsciously adapt that identity/experience/behavior. Maybe you're an angel in some sense because angelic beings (or whatever you believe in) saw the struggle you were going through, recognized it, and tried to protect you or help. And somehow that influenced how your identity developed. Angels are such powerful, energy-charged beings that it would make sense that even the slightest interaction would alter your mind/spirit.

Thoughts?


*I'd also like to tack on at the end here: I'm sorry for you loss, I just lost someone very important to me a few days ago as well. I hope you're doing okay, let me know if there's anything I can do to support you. <3

I never thought about that, but I really like that theory! it makes a lot of sense.
