Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) integrates specially trained animals into therapeutic settings to provide comfort, support, and healing. Interactions with horses, dogs, cats, and other therapy animals have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and enhance emotional well-being. Equine-assisted therapy, for example, helps individuals build confidence and emotional resilience, while canine therapy can offer companionship and stress relief. Whether in a clinical setting, a farm environment, or even a rehabilitation center, animals serve as gentle, nonjudgmental partners in the journey toward healing and self-discovery.
