A client asks: “There was an entire year when I was about four perhaps five, but not yet in school, that I could not shake the thought that my mother was trying to poison me.” What was the reason?

This was a reawakening within you of a memory from the akashic records of a past life experience where this experience did happen to you. But it is not relevant to the current lifetime, other than the possibility it can be dredged up and then the reminders used to cause emotional harm, and that was the purpose here. You had spirit attachments wishing to torment you, and what they will do is look for the biggest traumas you have experienced and bring them into your awareness within the deep level of the mind and then taunt you further, and ridicule and question your capability and other attributes on display, and few can stand up to the level of negativity of what can happen when the mind is commandeered in this fashion and someone else is giving the orders in how things need to be acted out.
