Giving back and volunteering, especially during traumatic times or periods of isolation, can have profound healing effects on both the giver and the receiver. This is evident in the relationship between humans and animals, particularly those that have been rescued. The release of oxytocin and endorphins during acts of nurturing and caring for an animal creates a mutually beneficial and deeply connected bond. Additionally, technology has played a crucial role in keeping connections alive during the quarantine, allowing for virtual interactions and feedback from audiences. This innovation has made it possible for shows like Dr. Phil's to continue providing relevant and timely content, addressing the increased levels of loneliness, depression, and stress that many are experiencing due to the isolation and tension brought on by the pandemic.

Dr. Phil suggests reaching out to neighbors or elderly persons in need, even if it's just a phone call or a favor, to help break the cycle of negative thoughts and feelings. This act of giving not only benefits the recipient but also the giver, creating a positive loop of giving and receiving. Additionally, for couples struggling with communication during the pandemic, it's important to give a voice to your feelings and have open and honest conversations to find solutions and give each other space. Remember, there are various types of currencies to give, including emotional and social currency, and even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
