Step-by-step explanation:

Karen Horney believed that neuroses and conflicts can be avoided when children are raised in a nurturing and accepting environment. She suggested that normal growth can be blocked by basic anxiety stemming from needs not being met, such as childhood experiences of loneliness and/or isolation. Horney proposed three coping styles that children use to handle anxiety: moving toward people, moving against people, and moving away from people. These coping styles can become neurotic strategies if used rigidly and compulsively, leading to alienation from others.
