Mindbody connection is essential from "summary" of The Nature of Animal Healing by Martin Goldstein, D.V.M.

The mindbody connection is the foundation of true healing. It is a concept that is often overlooked in traditional veterinary medicine, but its importance cannot be overstated. When we understand that the mind and body are intricately connected and work together in harmony, we open up a whole new world of possibilities for healing. Our thoughts and emotions have a direct impact on our physical health. When we are stressed or anxious, our bodies react by releasing hormones that can weaken our immune system and make us more susceptible to illness. On the other hand, when we are happy and at peace, our bodies produce chemicals that promote healing and overall well-being. This connection is not limited to humans - animals also experience the mindbody connection in much the same way. When a pet is stressed or fearful, their bodies respond in a similar manner, making them more prone to disease and other health issues. Conversely, when a pet feels safe, loved, and content, their bodies are able to heal more effectively. By recognizing and harnessing the power of the mindbody connection, we can help our animal companions achieve optimal health and wellness. This means addressing not only their physical symptoms, but also their emotional and mental well-being. By treating the whole animal - mind, body, and spirit - we can truly make a difference in their lives. In my practice, I have seen time and time again the profound impact that the mindbody connection can have on an animal's health. By taking a holistic approach to healing and considering all aspects of the individual, we can achieve results that traditional medicine alone cannot provide. It is essential that we acknowledge and nurture this connection in order to truly help our animal friends live their best lives.
