BENEFITS OF ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY IN COUNSELING
In Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), animals that meet specific criteria are an important part of the treatment process. AAT is delivered by a licensed professional and is designed to promote improvement in social, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Some benefits include:
- Animals help improve client motivation and engagement
- AAT helps clients practice skills in session
- Animals provide a sense of security, emotional support, unconditional acceptance, and positive regard
- Animals promote relaxation, lower blood pressure, regulate heart rate, and increase oxytocin in the brain
- Animals help learn frustration tolerance and other anger management techniques
- Animals can improve focus and attention
- AACC promotes learning which can increase confidence and self-esteem
- Animals offer humor and fun due to their playful nature
- Therapy Animals model positive attributes to clients, such as patience and forgiveness, allowing clients to develop empathy, nurturance, and responsibility
- Clients can learn advocacy skills by likening stereotypes affecting animals to how they deal with stereotypes in their own lives
