Animal-assisted therapy is a therapeutic intervention that involves animals as a part of the treatment process. Research has shown that interacting with animals can have positive effects on physical and mental health, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, and increasing social interaction.
The presence of animals can help create a sense of comfort and connection for individuals undergoing therapy, making it easier for them to open up and engage in the therapeutic process. Overall, animal-assisted therapy can be a beneficial addition to traditional therapy methods for some individuals.
