“Stuffed toys will become your best partners.”
Stuffed toys are more than just comforting items.
From a psychological perspective, they possess the power to connect with our inner selves and draw out our true feelings.
This book introduces “Stuffed Toy Psychology,” a methodology systematized by the author through deep interactions with over 7,000 individuals. It details how to use stuffed toys as “partners for the heart” to solve worries and achieve goals.
• On sleepless nights filled with anxiety
• When tired from interpersonal relationships
• When you lose touch with your own feelings
Gaze at a stuffed toy, talk to it, touch it gently.
These small actions promote psychological “projection” and “self-understanding,” easing inner tension.
“The stuffed toy understands me so well.”
The moment you feel this, the stuffed toy becomes your “compass for the soul,” supporting you to move forward with peace of mind even when lost.
This is a new guide to “stuffed toy life” especially suited for adults who are prone to anxiety and lack of confidence.
