The psychologist explained the appearance of anxiety after déjà vu

Psychologist Yulia Belkina explained why anxiety appears after deja vu. In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, September 2, she noted that sometimes deja vu is accompanied by anxiety and a sense of impending disaster.

This may be due to severe stress in the past, which the psyche has not been able to fully process. If at that moment a person unconsciously remembered any detail, upon meeting her again, the old emotions can arise again.

Belkina compared this mechanism with the hypothesis of the psychosomatic nature of allergy, emphasizing that it has not yet been scientifically proven. According to this version, if a certain object or environment was accompanied by severe stress, they can later become a trigger.

Similarly, in deja vu, a familiar detail can cause an emotional outburst, even if it is not directly related to the cause of the stress experienced. The expert noted that with an alarming deja vu, one should not look for a harbinger of bad events in it. Unpleasant sensations can be explained by the fact that the psyche accidentally linked a familiar image with past stress.
