Freud's seduction theory

Freud's Seduction Theory was an idea that Sigmund Freud had about why some people have mental and emotional issues like anxiety or depression. He thought that some people's issues could be traced back to their childhood, and that childhood experiences, especially negative ones, could have lifelong effects on a person's mental health. Freud's Seduction Theory was based on the idea that there were some kinds of bad experiences that some children had that could lead to mental health issues later in life. These experiences could be anything from physical or sexual abuse to neglect or feeling like they couldn't share their feelings. Freud thought that these bad experiences could stay with the person long after they happened, and sometimes all it takes is one bad experience to cause mental health issues later on.
