Hi friends, itās Jack again, your resident emotional support dog š¾. Letās talk about comfort objects! You know, those things that help you feel grounded when the world feels a little too big or overwhelmingālike a cozy blanket, a favorite hoodie, or even a stress ball.
Comfort objects arenāt just for kidsātheyāre for anyone who needs a little extra help calming down or feeling safe. They remind us of stability, warmth, and familiarity, which can be so helpful when anxiety strikes.
And guess what? If youāre coming to therapy, youāre more than welcome to bring your comfort object with you! Whether itās your favorite mug, a soft scarf, or even a photo that brings you peace, having it nearby can make the space feel more like your space.
Itās all about creating an environment where you feel comfortable and supportedābecause therapy is your time to heal, reflect, and grow. So, whatās your go-to comfort object? Iād love to hear about it! šā¤ļø
