The Gentle Barn: Healing Through the Power of Animals
In my childhood I had some stuff going on right and it was always animals that saved me... We bring them in and rehabilitate them with vet care and a whole slew of alternative methods, and then, once they're healed, we partner with them to heal people with the same stories of trauma.
What if the path to healing trauma involved a few furry friends? Angela Shelton and Aly Drummond take you on a heartwarming journey to The Gentle Barn, a sanctuary where rescued animals find solace and humans find healing. In this episode of '101 Ways to Heal That Sh*t', they chat with Joni Siegel, the mind behind Pure Remedy, and Ellie and Jay, the founders of The Gentle Barn.
You'll hear about the remarkable work being done to rehabilitate animals and how these animals, in turn, help people heal from their own traumas. Angela shares her deeply personal story of how animals helped her recover from childhood trauma, offering a glimpse into the profound connection between humans and animals. Expect to be moved by tales of cow hugging and other touching interactions that highlight the sanctuary's unique approach.
This episode isn't just about healing; it's about finding unexpected allies in the journey to recovery. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the incredible bond between nature and human resilience.
