You Deserve Support and Rest

On this Pick Me Up Tuesday, remember you deserve rest, compassion, and emotional support. Learn how therapy can help you show up for yourself.

🌿 You Deserve Emotional Support—Every Day

Life can be overwhelming. Between responsibilities, stress, and unexpected challenges, it’s easy to forget one simple truth: you deserve emotional support—not just when you’re at your breaking point, but every day.

At Animal Assisted Counseling of Indiana, we believe in meeting people where they are. And on this Pick Me Up Tuesday, we’re reminding you that it’s okay to take a breath, slow down, and receive the care you so often give to others.

💛 Why Emotional Support Matters

Support isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Emotional support helps you process your feelings, improve relationships, and stay grounded during life’s toughest moments. And when that support includes a gentle therapy dog at your side? Even better.

Working with therapy animals has been shown to reduce stress hormones and improve overall emotional well-being
