The popularity and acceptance of Empathy Doll Therapy has grown as the benefits have become better understood. Empathy Dolls help encourage emotional well-being because they trigger affection, trust and the natural care instinct.
Holding an Empathy Doll is comforting and soothing, encourages a sense of purpose and helps to bring back happy memories of a family member when they were young.
We have designed our Empathy Doll observing guidelines suggested in research findings. The weight, balance, size and features are designed to encourage users to engage more readily with the doll.
