Emissary's Teddy Bear Therapy Collection

My background is as a clinical psychologist and I wanted to create a line of products on Zazzle that was unique and could serve a purpose that I care about. My training included once learning about the transitional objects in therapy. A “transitional object” refers to a physical item, such as a blanket or stuffed animal, that acts an extension of a young child’s primary caregiver. It is a reminder of all of that caregiver’s love, and it can soothe the child when they are upset or have to spend time away. However, transitional objects are not just for young kids; they can help adolescents as well as adults. They can help everyone with issues of depression, grief, trauma, loss, or anxiety, I plan of making several of these for a collection. Each Teddy Bear will face a difficulty but will display courage in that adversity. Together the bear and it's owner will ultimately bring about resolution of the problem. What makes it perfect for the Zazzle platform, is that each customer can further customize the Teddy to perfectly tailor it to their unique situation.
