Living One Interview W/ Gay Bradshaw

If you are unfamiliar with the writings of Gay Bradshaw (Elephants on the Edge; Carnivore Minds) you are certainly missing out. One of my favorite researchers and writers she pretty much created the field of Trans-Species Psychology. TS psych removes the lens of human exceptionalism that most of don’t realize that we are looking through due to religious, cultural, and scientific teachings. However science has shown that human and non-human animals have analogous neural architecture (their brain parts) that support thinking, feeling, memory, and love. We both suffer the same diseases, disorders, and symptoms. As such it’s super interesting to explore how the healing modalities across species can also be shared?

She was one of my dissertation advisors and definitely doesn’t take it easy on me in this one. But I think I hung in there. Let me know how you think I did. —VW
