A professional dog trainer with several serious health conditions uses group hypnotherapy with her dogs, ducks and chickens to improve her mental health and chronic pain management by falling asleep alongside her menagerie of pets.
Joe Nutkins, 43, has tried everything from wearing human dog collars on her ankles to light therapy to manage her chronic pain from fibromyalgia, myalgic encephalomyelitis and an underactive thyroid, but hypnotherapy has the most noticeable effect, it sends her and her pets to sleep, making them all more relaxed.
