88. Improve Mental Health Therapy Interventions by Observing & Assessing Non-Verbal Behaviors

Dr. Brenda Murrow studies, teaches, and practices psychology, and she has a specific interest in how working with animals can inform us about the human experience. Her experiences shape her understanding of why this is possible and why she has come to the perspective that working in animal-assisted therapy environments is not just therapeutic (there is a lot of evidence to confirm this), but also that it can be diagnostic.In this episode she shares some introductions into how she uses her learnings and experiences in animal-assisted therapy encounters to be able to assess and intervene in in-office therapy environments, so that all practitioners can benefit from these insights.References:Bruce Perry, MD, PhDhttps://www.bdperry.com/aboutDan Siegel’s “Window of Tolerance”Dan Siegel, https://drdansiegel.com/Attend a Course at Connection Therapy:https://connection-therapy.com/courses-and-eventsWe Want to Hear Your Feedback!
