2.1: Athena Herd: How pets can increase our well being, self awareness and self regulation.

For tens of thousands of years, humans have lived side by side with animals. However, today we are often unaware of the full extent our fury and feathered friends help us maintain a healthy sense of wellbeing.  In this conversation with Jennifer Geach and Graeme Green, we learn how to reconnect with our feelings and sense of self "in the moment".  Graeme tells us how animals help us build non judgemental relationships and teach us about compassion, kindness and community. While Jennifer helps us understand more about self regulation: how pets and other animals help us to recognise, accept and process our emotions.   For more information about Athena Herd, please see links below.   https://athenaherd.org.uk https://www.horseheard.com/author/gra...
