I have been pondering this question also... My therapist seems to think I cause my own DP although he doesn't say it straight out. I think the DP just happened to me without my control. I was thinking about God and infinity and stuff when I was 6 and that's when I had my first DP experience. I kept having episodes of it and then soon it was chronic and now here I am 23 and still trying to shake this 16 year long non-stop episode of DP.
I guess you could say I caused it myself by thinking about God, but I don't know...
