Some of the most successful therapies did not come from professionals like psychologists. Some haven’t been acquired through paid services. Some actually have not given any advice. These successful therapeutic life coaches have just been present, and their mere presence are the things that helped people cope and overcome even the deepest regrets, depressions, repressions, insecurities, and stressors. These are what we often refer to as pets.
Articles and similar life stories relating to couples who can't have any offspring are faced with a heavy burden of being labelled in society as incapables. Many couples find fulfilment in family status as soon as they start having children…someone calling their own. Unfortunately, physiological limitations and imperfections hamper reproductive functions. Couples in this situation seek something else to provide them the comfort and security of loving someone – or in some cases something.
Many other individuals who have been left by their loved one, been physically hurt, in emotional distraught, or alone in life like some elderly seek the same calming effect by these small life coaches. Even in hospitals where ill patients are down and burdened suddenly come alive with hope and improvement because of these pets' presence.
This is where you would see dogs or cats, or any other pet so well pampered, and taken care of like they were humans. One would see them living in their owners houses, eating the same food, being groomed, given baths, being brought around and placed even in strollers! Many see this as utterly weird and nonsensical, others may even refer to this practice as absurd and radical. However, these small life coaches are keeping the burdened couple together and away from depression of actually having a real baby.
It is when these pets act like humans giving compassion and love and helping troubled people recover and have a better outlook in life do they become life coaches. Like real human life coaches, pets in this manner have the unspoken ability to impart the same comfort and self assurance to those in need of care.
And since they are living side by side with their owners, eating with them, sleeping under the same roof as them, looking after them, and being there to share their presence filled with accompaniment, they are perfect examples of co-active life coaches.
The wonderful thing about these pets is that they don't have to say anything, or advise any words of wisdom and impart philosophical ideas for the troubled individual to think about. These pets are life coaches in a way that they allow the person to reflect and see the beauty and wonder of being loved and having someone stay by their side in times of loneliness or need.
This is the same method that some human life coaches try to implement. By keeping quiet for some point in the healing process, they allow the person to have and conduct some self searching while being offered the presence in case these individuals would need actual assistance.
These pets that are acquired just for the mere idea of being preoccupied and happy is already a small way to distress us before it could get any worse.
They live with us side by side as we mature ourselves. Pets are more than just animals for fun and leisure. They are life coaches that come in small packages.
