The Human-Animal Connection Ep 17 Healing from Trauma: For People and Animals

Dogs, just like people, can have traumatic experiences. The good news is that trauma can be healed in both animals and people. We talk about how to help shelter animals and other dogs who have experienced tremendous adversity. In The Human-Animal Connection we have methods to help them re-train their nervous systems so that the trauma triggers are not controlling their lives. In some cases, this involves “re-puppying” to help restore a fundamental sense of safety that allows the dog to let go of the burden of carrying the trauma and reengage with life. We tell many stories of dogs who have recovered from tremendous adversity. We work at the animal’s pace and help them to get their senses “back in order.” We show how the sense of choice can help heal the debilitating sense of helplessness.
