Turn fear into love

"We didn't just adopt him...But we're learning the art of trust, "🤍

Many people say that raising a cat / dog is a merit, but for me it is a "psychotherapy" for myself.

An animal that has been neglected or abused, he often has what is called Trauma, not unlike humans, he builds high walls, threatens, or runs away every time we approach...

And here are 3 psychological lessons he's trying to tell us:

1. A trust (trust) is not created in a single day. ⏳

In an Instant Gratification world, we want him to love us now, want to hug now, but an animal is very honest with his own feelings, he will still not love if he does not feel safe. * Reflect: Does it teach us to revisit our relationships with those around us, that we have given him enough "time" and "space"?

2. Respect for boundaries (Boundaries) is the basis of love. 🐾

The cat will teach us, "Don't break the line if I'm not ready." He's willing to walk in on his own, which is more valuable than us chasing him.

Psychology Tip: Loving someone, not possessing it, but creating a Safe Zone where he can be himself without fear.

3. Consistency is Key 🥣

Just feeding the same time every day. Speaking in the same tone every day, the wandering animal will slowly break down the wall because he can begin to "predict" the future that this man will not hurt him.

Learning: Security starts with a little consistency.

Summary of what he learned: The day he came to massage his belly on his lap or closed his eyes, it wasn't just a victory that we captured him, it was proof that "tenderness and patience" could always heal the deepest wounds.

Who has ever experienced a younger fall? From having threatened until we were discouraged until today became a shadow. Let's share this pride in the comments! 👇✨
