Critterish Allsorts of Animals as Therapy with Dale Preece-Kelly - a podcast by Eli Weiss

Our guest today is Dale Preece-Kelly of Critterish Allsorts. As we talk about the many benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy or Pet Therapy, a natural holistic treatment, that pre-dates science, as we know it, and used within psychology as a proven Occupational Therapy tool that improves spirit-mind-body interconnectedness, reducing both anxiety and blood pressure. The interaction and relationship between people and animals has been shown to reduce stress and promote well being; increase socialization; improve self-esteem and confidence, promoting quality of life and encouraging the ability to nurture and accept responsibility in forming non-human relationships and enduring bonds, connecting people who may not otherwise have an opportunity to interact with animals, to learn about their welfare and conservation, providing an amazing opportunity to teach all ages the value of the human-animal bond.
