Hoi! I made a comment on a Therian group post and I wanted to make a post of its own, of the ideas I came up with to potentially relieve species dysphoria. Mainly aimed for K9 therians but can be used for other theriotypes too!
• Sit in a car and try and "eat the cars" that drive by.
• Practice vocals? (If its safe to do so etc)
• get some paper and rip it up with your teeth
• Scrunch your hands up like paws and why to do "normal activities"
• draw with a pen /pencil in your mouth.
• Practice laying like a dog.
• Maybe make yourself some hand paws!
• Customise your shoes to look like paws
• Put some photos of yourself in a drawing program and add / draw over details like paws, tail, ears, and floofs etc!
• Plan out a therian mask idea even if you dont make it, or you can make it and sell it if you don't want to use it yourself!
• Play with some modelling clay and make yourself / some little paw print stamp rocks etc that you can stamp into the ground / anywhere you want!
• Get an old eraser and carve a paw put of it and make a stamp! Or claw marks?
• Get messy and make some art!! X3
• Roll on your back in your bead and wriggle like freshly bathed pupper. Extra points if you murr a little 🙂↕️🙂↕️ or maybe pawing at your face?
• Self soothing face/belly rubs also feels so nice..
• ripping shit apart. Get something like and old rag, rip it up.
•Chewing on somethin cronchy weather its a sweet/lolly? Maybe bubble gum? Or just anything that's cronchy carrots are good. Carrots are always cronchy and make that satisfying feel / noise. They can also mimic the feeling of cronching on bones 🙂↕️ Extra points if you pretend its a bone as you're cronching it.
• Wet your hair and shake it like crazy!!!
• Go in the back yard and fuckin dig a hole, fill it back up, then dig another somewhere else.
• Sit like a puppy, legs out, arms straight and between legs.
• Get on your hands and knees and wag ur lil butt, for bonus points lower your front half down like youre play bowing.
• Sniff the air. Try and identify smells.
• Get the hose and make mud!!
• Put on a collar, and accessorise it!
• Draw yourself as your theriotype.
•Draw some paw prints with your finger prints.
•go to the beach and dig, make paw prints in the sand run around and splash in the water.
•Fill a bowl / wide cup with water/ drink or whatever and try lick up the drink!
• Rip up some plants / leaves and try to make a picture.
• Make a muddy planty potion in the back yard.
• make a "nest" with you blankets / pillows / toys.
• get your comfort plushie and rub your face into it. Again bonus points if you murr as you do it!
• practice play sneezing (like a fake sneeze, doggos do this to indicate they're playing when they're playing slightly rough and baring teeth etc)
• bap things. Yeah I said it. When you get the urge to just bap something do it. Bap that thing. Big ol' bag of rice.. bap it. Random box that looks like itll make a nice sound. Bap it!! Somethin thats pissin you off!! BAP IT. SHOW IT WHOS BOSS DOG 🗣🗣🐕
This is all I got for now!! Hope this helps at least someone 🐕🐾
