Dollie Therapy?
No, I dont mean therapy for your dolls, i meant...
Do you think owning/ playing with your dolls is like therapy? Explain. There is a thread on DoA but I wanted to put it here too.

Why put a label on having fun and using your imagination? This sounds like a justification for playing with dolls.

I guess it is, they have a feel, a smell, a look...all comforting things- though some are more cuddly than others!

It's fun, it's soothing, it's comforting - yes definitely therapy
and if you believe your doll has a soul, you have someone to share your secrets with too ... |

For me, who has some serious depressive problems, they are an escape from the world.
When I am playing with them, making clothes etc then I can forget about all the other s**t and just be. So yeah for some of us they are "therapy" if you like. My dolls are a way to be happy. A small pleasure in a pressurised world!

All hobbies are a form of escapism, the BJD hobby is no different. I find that making things for my dolls takes my mind off my worries even just for a little while.
