Too often, we think that toys, bears, legos, etc., are made for children and only they can hold them, but a study conducted in 2018, shows that 43% of people have a special stuffed animal friend, like 88 % of men and 77% of women who participated in the study admitted to having a stuffed animal in their room.
So when we saw Dea Michele holding a bear while advertising a product in the toilet, we thought we'd let you know whether or not you should be concerned about holding toys and teddy bears when they're being held by adults.
The teddy bear is the most popular toy and keeping it at any age brings several benefits:
Creates a sense of security
Adults, as well as children, need security and the bear is a "comfort item", as it gives you security, as it has accompanied you through different periods of life. According to therapist Margaret Van Ackeren, adults hold, or even sleep with, teddy bears because it provides them with a sense of security and reduces anxiety, loneliness and negative feelings.
It positively affects mental health
According to Dr. Aniko Dunn, teddy bears have a positive effect on people's mental health, as they help them feel better and happier. Dr. Dunn also recommends it as therapy for people suffering from PTSD, bipolar and other mental illnesses.
Helps to overcome the loss of a loved one
Arushat prej pellushi mund të simbolizojnë edhe lidhjen me një person të dashur, i cili edhe mund t’ua ketë dhuruar personit që e mban. Arushi ndihmon në tejkalimin e humbjes, në mënyrë pak më të lehtë dhe në njëfarë mënyre “të dëgjon teksa qan dhe vuan” dhe nuk të gjykon, përkundrazi të dhuron vetëm rehati.
Ndihmon në tejlakimin e traumave të fëmijërisë
Arushat prej pellushi janë një terapi shumë të mirë, pasi ndihmojnë njerëzit të marrin eten nga eksperienca traumatike në fëmijëri. Sipas profesorit të psikologjisë në universitetin “Boise State”, Rose M. Barlow, “arushat prej pellushi shërbejnë si terapi për fëmijët dhe tëe rriturit, duke u siguruar atyre një mbështetje të pakushtëzuar”.
Kjo terapi përdoret masivisht për personat që kanë përjetuar neglizhim apo abuzim në fëmijëri.
Të lidhin me fëmijërinë
All adults, when they were children, had a favorite toy, which they most likely kept fanatically at every stage of life.
Every time they look at the toy, they remember beautiful childhood moments and immediately feel nostalgic. This is what teddy bears do, they connect with childhood and with the most beautiful memories and moments.
