Causes of fear of houses
It has been determined through different studies that fear of houses can be closely related to experiences lived by traumatic people. According to experts, this can happen when they are just children, and a bad experience inside the house can mark them for the rest of their lives.
Other studies ensure that fear can also occur depending on the environment in which children and adolescents develop; for example, if parents suffer from worries, children likely develop this phobia even without realizing that they are suffering from it, if not until an event occurs that confirms the state and development of fear of houses.
