I’ve realised lately that I have longer and more in-depth conversations with my pets than I do with any other human beings day to day.. Is this a trauma response do you think? I’m actively avoiding human interaction at the moment and enjoying mine, and my pets, company instead. Is this a response to the abuse? They’re so calm and happy since he left. They never show any signs of stress anymore, they’re quiet and just so chilled. Its like we’re all just enjoying our space and freedom and calm. Is that weird? Can I wallow in it for a while do you think? Anyone else going to admit to this and help me feel a bit more normal?! x

Iliketea I spent an icredibly long time on my own with just my my pets attest I got everyone toxic out of my life, it was the best time ever, I think your just content and enjoying not having the stess and disruption around you that abuse brings , enjoy it š, itās understandable that you donāt trust people very well at the moment, in time you can figure out who is deserved of you time and who should be in your life, I know a lot of us have been of the mindset what can āiā bring to the relationship/friendship and how can I make things better when it should be flipped around in a more balanced way?i really believe animals understand more than we give them credit for and theyāve been know to naturally lower blood pressure too, glad your ok though and your at a level of settledš§”šš§”

Yes, I talk to my pet all the time as I don’t have much day to day contact with humans. It’s really nice when they nuzzle you for a cuddle and a stroke, or wag their tail when they respond to your words. I agree that pets can and do help us heal from trauma. I think they should be used more in therapy, to help people talk through and process difficult emotions and memories.

Great question iliketea. I would guess the answer depends person to person and over time.
My personal view is that bonds with animals are very healing. Animals are completely non-judgemental, they donāt hold grudges, they donāt have any complicated hidden agendas. I think thereās a huge benefit in talking to an animal, that will respond lovingly and will not invalidate anything you say. Itās the opposite of what our abusers do. I guess if you felt like you could only talk to animals for a long period of time, it could be a sign that the trauma is preventing you from trusting and connecting with others. Maybe for some people talking to animals is a really important step to do before talking to people. I think that anything that makes you feel safe and accepted is a really good thing to do. xxxx
