I've never had to be put in therapy, but, if you are, be in animal therapy. One of the best animals to help are horses. They are majestic creatures that can help in almost any situation. Even if it's the other way around or it can work both ways. You can spend time with a abused scared horse, and make him feel loved and wanted. The horse can make you feel the same thing. Animal Therapy is actually quite amazing. Dogs come secondly, same thing can happen. You and a dog can help each other heal and feel loved.

I take care of my mom's horese... one is a paint and the other is a POA. I have gained some insight from them, not really healing. They were both starved to death on a few acres that an old lady owned. They were young and they lived with a heard on that land but there wasnt enough land to support them. So their herd got sent to the dog food factory and they were pulled out of the slaughter line. One of em has a real bad temper,the POA, workin with her has helped me control mine. Working with the paint has helped me be more kind and undertstanding because she is depressed a lot... And working with the horse crap gets me smelling like... well horse crap Shocked
