85. Improving Outcomes for Patients by Acknowledging and Encouraging Cooperation

Learning to relate to other species can make us more aware of relating to our own species. In this spirit, Dr. Murrow reviews some similarities and differences between horses and humans as described by Dr. Janet Jones in her book, Horse Brain: Human Brain: The Neuroscience of Horsemanship.

This episode has insights for mental health therapists and resources for anyone interested in improving their abilities to relate with others.
