ABSTRACT
I named my companion-animal George Harrison after my favourite Beatle, because George is a remarkably present, peaceful, loving and deep rescue-dog. He accompanies me in my psychotherapy practice where I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with relational challenges, grief, trauma and/or mental-health issues. As many dogs do, George reads each person who enters the office and responds uniquely to the way they are in that moment. It marks the beginning of what will hopefully be a healing experience.
