Part of the work that Moon Shadow and I do, is supporting people who experience Cynophobia (Fear of Dogs). By Mairead Ashcroft

Image
 Here is a basket of our fluffy helpers who assist us with our work. We use relaxation and self regulation techniques to build resilience to enable a healthy relationship with our fear responses. We then practice our new skills while exploring our story. Through careful, sensitive and supported exposure, using words, pictures, video footage, sounds and our fluffy helpers, an introduction to dogs can take place. Anxiety may be alleviated using our new skills, leading to full exposure with Moon Shadow the Therapy Dog and the joy of being with a calm and contented dog.
