Why do we speak softer when talking to pets?br Because they bring out the part of us that feels safe enough to be gentle. 🐾🤍br br With animals, there’s no judgment,br no expectations,br no emotional complexity to decode.br br Your nervous system relaxes,br your breath deepens,br and your voice naturally shifts into warmth.br br You’re not performing.br You’re connecting.br br That softness you use with your pet?br It’s the version of you that existsbr when you feel completely unthreatened, unfiltered, and deeply present.br br Pets don’t just hear your voice —br they heal the parts of you that forgot how to speak gently.
