“My mum calls me constantly and gets upset if I don't answer”

What could be going on

Enmeshment: Fits if the family expects constant contact and treats privacy as rejection.

Anxious-preoccupied attachment: Could be her fear of losing you; check if silence brings panic rather than anger.

Separation-individuation (Mahler): Check whether she struggles with you becoming a separate adult.

Generalised anxiety: An ordinary cause: she may worry about everything; check if the calls are about safety.

Boundaries: Check whether agreed times for contact are kept, and what happens when you hold them.
