How does pet therapy alleviate symptoms of anxiety disorders?
Pet therapy, or animal-assisted therapy, offers emotional support, companionship, and stress relief for individuals with anxiety disorders. Interacting with therapy animals reduces cortisol levels, promotes relaxation, and boosts mood. The non-judgmental presence of animals fosters a sense of safety and comfort, helping individuals manage anxiety symptoms and improve overall well-being.

Re: How does pet therapy alleviate symptoms of anxiety disorders?
I currently have the satisfaction of caring for two beautiful dogs. They bring so much joy into my life and provide a much-needed distraction from my worries. Their love is unconditional, and they make such excellent companions. Living alone, I find that spending time with them really helps to ease my anxiety, especially when we cuddle together. I feel like they are humans as well. In fact, I find them better than humans because they do not hurt my feelings. Hehehe
