Reborn doll therapy: how do these realistic creations help people?

At first glance, reborn dolls may seem like just expensive collectibles. But for many people, they are something much more-a source of comfort, support, and an effective tool for therapy. Their amazing realism can awaken a person's care and tenderness, which has a significant positive impact on their psychological state.

Therapy for coping with grief and loneliness

One of the most well-known uses of reborn dolls is to help with bereavement. For parents who have experienced the loss of a child, reborn therapy can be a way to cope with unspeakable pain. Caring for a doll allows them to express their parental feelings, fill the void, and find an outlet for the love that never disappeared. The dolls also help people who feel lonely. Caring for a "little infant" provides a sense of purpose, gives meaning to life, and can reduce stress levels.

A calming effect for the elderly

More and more research confirms the effectiveness of using reborn dolls in the care of people with Alzheimer's and dementia. These patients often return to memories of their youth when they were raising children themselves. A reborn doll allows them to relive these happy moments. 

• Reduced anxiety: Simply holding the doll in their hands, patients become calmer.
• Improved mood: Caring for the doll helps them feel important and useful, which significantly improves their mood.
• Restored communication: Sometimes, interacting with the doll helps patients regain communication skills.

How does this therapeutic effect work?

Reborn dolls activate our natural instincts. Tactile contact with a soft, baby-like doll stimulates the release of oxytocin-the "cuddle hormone," which is responsible for affection, trust, and calm. This process lowers the level of stress hormones, such as cortisol, and helps people feel more relaxed and secure.

Conclusion

Reborn dolls are much more than just collector's items. They are a powerful tool that helps people cope with emotional pain, anxiety, and loneliness.
