About this listen
In this insightful episode, we explore how pets are more than just companions—they’re co-therapists in the modern mental health movement. From lowering stress hormones to easing loneliness and supporting trauma recovery, animals are helping humans heal in powerful, science-backed ways.
We delve into the growing societal embrace of therapy animals in schools, offices, and hospitals, and examine how the pandemic deepened our emotional bonds with pets. Whether you have a dog, cat, bird, or even a virtual pet, discover how the presence of animals—real or digital—is reshaping wellness in 2025. We also discuss challenges like affordability and access, and share creative ways to benefit from the magic of animals, even if you don’t have one of your own.
