So, what does everyone think causes their personal therianthropy? Do you think it's mental? Do you think it's spiritual? Or do you think it's caused by something else entirely? Please explain!

I would say it's a little bit of both, but I definitely feel like it's more spiritual. Mostly because I don't think about being animal-like, I just am, it feels as though it's coming from deeper inside of me than just my brain, but my brain definitely helps in manifesting my therianthropy. I hope that made sense ^^;

to be honest, ive been wondering about this a lot, and i do mean a lot! its been keeping me awake at some nights, when i cant stop thinking about it, ive had theories about it being spiritual, mental and the most recent doesnt fit in to either..
warning, this is probably gibberish: i already threw this theory out of the window, but it might be a strange form of symbiosis (two organisms in one body) where the human is the host, and the therioside is some kind of symbiote, bonding with their host when its born (or during the awakening for some people)
but i stopped thinking about it at that moment, since it can't explain the animal sides... so im sorry, but i dont have a vote here

There is no real telling how I got the way I am. I think it is primarily spiritual in some way though I also feel that it is also mental as well. I’ve thought and wondered about the subject off on, but I’ve never really come up with a personal theory for my own therianthropy. (Though, in the end it doesn’t really matter to me whether I know or not.)
I consider it spiritual because it just is the way I am. I have been a wolf in someway inside all my life as far back as I can remember. I do not feel in anyway that is ‘all in my head’ or that it is simply psychological. It is something far more personal and deeper then that in some way. I consider it mental as well though because I belief the psychological processes of the brain interprets my wolf self and causes me, to some degree or level, to experience and have certain shifts (such as metal, phantom, dream, and such).

I believe that it is spiritual in me. It is much deeper than just thnking it, It just is. I feel that i am ,atleast in a major part, wolf in spirit and soul. It feels to me that it is much more consistant, personal, and powerful to be mental, just something that i think. but this is me

I think that on some level with me, it's mental, but that the majority of it is spiritual. And yeah... I see myself as a hawk spirit in a human body.

This is a difficult question for me, because I'm unsure. For me, it really depends on what happens when things die, and those type of unknown things.
I either believe in reincarnation or psychological therianthropy. But since I probably will never find out what happens when we die, I'll have to say both.
Psychology (class) opened a whole new door for me, but at the same time unlocked boatload of questions.

I suppose I'd say spiritual, but I voted other because I'm unsure. (too much studying of the human psyche) And it's also a bit weird to think of it that way, 'cause I always relate 'Spiritual' with religion, And I'm a bit touchy about religion. Some of the things people say (what are you talking about, "this is your opinion"? Obviously THIS is your opinion.) irk me...

I think that it isn't mental, because that is clinical lycanthropy, to a degree. I have come to the conclusion that I am capable of behaving in society, I just don't always FEEL like a human is what I'm supposed to be.
