Healing through knitting
Our journey into the therapeutic properties of knitting continues. It might seem bizarre, but it's not; in fact, there are other activities, only seemingly undemanding, that have therapeutic properties, especially for stress, depression, and tension. One such activity is keeping a pet, for example, a cat, a dog, even a goldfish, as long as you can release tensions from your body—obviously without transmitting them to the animal, but rather by cuddling your pet and giving it all your care and attention: something that is good for both the animal and its owner.
Unfortunately, this "therapy" has limitations; it cannot remove the cause of stress or depression but only helps to calm tensions and release them in the moment. Do you remember, in the last post I even talked about the possibility of undoing knitted stitches as a way to remove the difficult moments in which the knitwear was made. You don't necessarily have to destroy the work done to achieve a result, but sometimes, in difficult cases, this can help a lot, and health and peace are much more valuable than a knitted item, even if made of fine cashmere.
Knitting has therapeutic properties of great value and effectiveness. Undertaking this activity is neither difficult nor expensive, and for this combination of reasons, if you have tensions or depressive tendencies, one of the first remedies to consider is precisely therapeutic "knitting." It goes without saying that, given the important content,
this new therapeutic path is gaining popularity in various countries. We, as usual, are a bit behind, but why not follow good examples? Let's seriously consider buying needles and some yarn, and start our knitting as a path to recovery from depressive and anxious states.
