In this episode, Tonya Octave expands on how animals help regulate emotions in different environments and where emotional support animals can be most effective. We also uncover how trained animals communicate a patient’s progress to their handlers, offering unique insights into the healing journey. From emotional grounding to behavioral cues, we explore the deep connection between humans and animals in therapeutic settings. As we wrap up, we prepare for next week's discussion on "Victuals" and the role of nutrition in mental health and trauma recovery.
