Another important resources in our life are our smaller brothers.
Animals help us to cope with difficult emotional states by their very presence, an understanding look, the ability to hug them, stroke them, feeling warmth and participation. They help find meaning in life through the need to take care of them for those who are lonely, receiving in return sincere gratitude and return.
In my opinion, dogs and cats are capable of empathy, sometimes stronger and more sincere than some people.
The presence of animals contributes to a more stable psychological state of a person.
I also had a dog as a child. I told about her in the article Dog named Grand.
In this article I want to share what my dog taught me, my friend
1. Responsibility. I knew I had to go for a walk with him after school.
2. Caring for others. I helped my parents wash his paws when he was sick to look after him.
3. Unconditional love. Before the birth of my daughter, no one with such joy and happiness ran to meet me when I came home.
4. Empathy. When he was sick or was punished, I was very worried about him.
5. Cheerfulness out of the blue. Any sign of attention, a banal game, delighted him wildly.
6. Ability to be friends. When I felt bad, he just came up and put his face on my lap and looked me in the eyes with a look full of kindness and compassion.
7. Cohesion. Every weekend my whole family went to the forest for a walk together and this was largely due to his merit.
8. An active lifestyle. We jogged together in the mornings, when I rode a bike, he ran alongside, in the summer we swam together on a river or lake.
What did my dog help me with?
1. With different emotions: sadness, resentment, shyness, anger, loneliness, fear. With him you could share them all and understand that you are felt and understood without words. 2. With laziness. I knew that I had to walk with him at the same time, wash my paws, feed. 3. With difficulties in getting to know him, it was always easy to talk to other people with him and the conversation started by itself 4. While the dog lived with us, I practically did not get sick.
And now, having prescribed all these points, I understand how much the dog helped my psychological development, my psychological growth and maturation. Developed my emotional intelligence, instilled in me universal values and concepts.
Perhaps this is why lonely and closed people often have animals to help them release the emotions accumulated inside, which are often forbidden. After all, loving our smaller brothers and showing your feelings is often much safer than loving a person.
It is also safe to talk about your feelings in the psychologist's office and learn to show emotions, and you can also find support, sympathy and acceptance of a person as he really is without embellishment and masks.

"I Made You Smaller, Dear." The Destructive Power Of Devaluation
"I made you smaller, dear." The destructive power of depreciation. I recently wrote an article on the destructive power of reproach. But in addition to reproach in relationships, people use another form of emotional violence, which, like a reproach, is not so easy to recognize, but which, being built along with reproaches into a person's value system, destroys the lover to devalue himself and those who find themselves in the nearest radius.
Human Needs Human. What Is Psychological Help For?
Each of us needs help and support at a certain stage in life. On our way, stress, loss and loss, health problems, difficulties in relationships with loved ones are inevitable. Often we are faced with problem situations, the way out of which is not obvious to us.
Human Needs Human
Our subjectivity (self) is the inner home in which we are destined to live our lives. If at the stage of its construction everything went well, then a space is formed inside in which we will be comfortable and safe, a place where we can throw off our clothes and which will accept you as you are, where you are always yours.
Say A Word About A Poor Parent Or What We Bring To Our Relationship With Our Children From Our Childhood
Our ideas about the upbringing of children stem not so much from pedagogical and psychological literature as from our childhood experience. From those relationships that we developed with our own parents. We can relate to this in different ways:
Our Future Is In Our Hands As Well As In Our Thoughts. Affirmations
What is affirmation? Affirmation is a short statement phrase that, when repeated many times, fixes the required image or setting in the subconscious of a person. Affirmations use the power of positive thinking to help us achieve our goals and are like little reminders within ourselves.
