My dogs react to sirens by howling… It’s fun to howl with them. They’re always a little surprised, but they seem to like it! It’s a fun way to bond with them.
I’ve been having a lot of dreams related to this topic lately. They’ve been teaching me to de-sensitize my emotional “reactive” part when it comes to other’s bad behavior towards me. The dreams have shown me I don’t have to “re-act”... but use emotional restraint and an emotionally “centered” response, or no response at all.. not to internalize.
