Description

Dogs can play a huge role in our mental health journey. But, is it always “improvements”?!

I sat down with Chrissy Lawler, a licensed therapist & sleep expert, to discuss the good AND the bad parts of dogs and our mental health.

And while dogs typically provide SO much good in our lives, it’s important to understand some of the bad that can pop up.

Here is what we’ll cover in this podcast interview:
-Are there situations where dogs become a “net-negative” for someone’s mental health?
-How can having a dog impact a child’s or young adult’s mental health?
-Is it typically the responsibility of taking care of a dog that helps with depression & mental illness, or is it the dog itself?
-If someone is looking to get a dog to help improve their mental health, what should they consider when making that decision?
