Hoofprints to Hope

from Strides To Solutions · host Esther Nava

In this episode of Strides To Solutions, Dr. Esther Adams explores the profound psychological benefits of animal-assisted psychotherapy (AAP). Listeners will discover how interactions with horses and dogs can lower stress hormones, boost mood, and reduce core symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and autism. Backed by research on physiological markers, motivational engagement, and therapeutic environments, this conversation reveals why animals are powerful partners in healing—and how farms and natural settings amplify these outcomes.
