Getting an Emotional Support Animal is a Form of Self-Care

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed how physically, mentally, and emotionally vulnerable we are as humans. Because of it, there has also been a rising importance of self-care throughout these trying times.

Among these self-care plans is owning an emotional support animal. As Doris Day said, “I have found that when you are deeply troubled, there are things you can get from the silent devoted companionship of a dog that you can get from no other source.”

Yes, owning a pet does indeed help you get through tough times. But an ESA can even do more for you. They are specifically trained to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar, and PTSD. Are you at risk or experiencing these problems? If yes, talk to your therapist about getting an ESA now.
