Imagine finding solace and healing through the unconditional love of a four-legged friend. In this episode of 'The Story of Our Trauma', Dr. Shauna Springer sits down with Mary Cortani, a former Army K9 handler and the visionary behind Operation Freedom Paws.

Springer dive into the unique bond between humans and dogs, exploring how these loyal companions can sense and respond to their handlers' emotional needs. They discuss the grieving process of dogs, the ripple effects of trauma on families, and the proactive steps one can take to navigate trauma anniversaries. This conversation isn't just about the dogs, though; it's about the holistic approach Operation Freedom Paws takes to help people reclaim their lives.
