Animal Therapy helps individuals who are hurt by intense trauma and have a hard time expressing themselves from it. It also has benefits for those who have issues communicating, such as those with Autism or even children. The type of animal used also plays a role pending on the need and personality of the person. Animals love unconditionally and hence can help people experience love and warmth but also learn ways to express, care and feel needed through responsibility.
