The Psychology of People Who Love Dogs (Shocking Truth)

Описание: If you've ever felt safer with your dog than with people, this isn't just preference it's psychology.

This video explores the hidden emotional patterns behind why some people love dogs with an intensity that goes beyond companionship. It's about what you couldn't fix, who you couldn't save, and the part of yourself you've been protecting all along.

🐕 You'll understand:
Why you became an "emotional radar" in childhood
How softness became dangerous for you
The wound of feeling replaceable your whole life
Why your dog is healing something you can't name

This isn't about dog training. It's about you.

If you've ever been called "too sensitive," felt like second choice, or love your dog more easily than you love yourself—this will make sense.
