There are so many benefits to having animals as part of our lives and the special benefit is their ability to provide emotional support. Besides unconditional love, they have a natural instinct to heal in a way that is often difficult to explain.
In my previous episode I had mentioned that clients would often come to my office to specifically speak with my therapy dog. While I watched their interaction I’ve witnessed the calming affect at work and felt it in my own personal life with my animal companions. We know that animals have many positive affects and my guess, Jane Miller, will discuss some of the work she has done using animals as healers during this episode of the Animal Academy Podcast.
