Animal-Assisted Therapy can help you .
Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a highly effective intervention to enhance and complement traditional psychotherapy. It can be helpful with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, social isolation, Autism, emotional and behavioral problems, dementia, Post Traumatic Stress and many other issues.
The work is rooted in the bond that can develop between you and the animal. Animals provide a sense of calm, safety and comfort. Research demonstrates that simple acts like petting an animal can trigger chemical changes in the brain, reducing stress hormones and fostering feelings of happiness. They can take attention away from stressful feelings and increase a focus on pleasure. They can help you develop greater sense of self-worth and trust while improving communication and socialization skills. Additionally, incorporating animals into therapy sessions provides a comfortable environment for patients to open up, enhancing the efficacy of treatment.
