I believe that is some very excellent information provided by yourself Ann. I can see huge benefits to the suffer with this help from the dog. Thank you. In the same breath though, I would also say that this too me is also only a bandaid, in that the use of a service dog in this situation would be warranted whilst you heal / to help you heal, but not a long term solution. I can see that a person could soon become dependant upon a dog to help them through life, and use this as an excuse to never tackle their trauma head on and live life without the need of a service dog, medications and panic attacks by simple and effective learning / coping strategies.
