The best treatment varies from person to person and for me, my treatment includes intense interaction with animals mainly dogs and horses. The horses are an escape for me because when I'm riding or working with a horse, my stress and anxiety goes away and I am focused on communicating with my team mate and trusting that they are also trusting and listening to what I am asking of them. My dog is in training to be a psychiatric service dog who has learned to jump on my lap and paw at my arm or hand when I go to pull and by teaching her this, it redirects my negative behavior and makes me focus on what my dog is telling me. Her action of doing this forces me to get up and break that trance and tend to her.
