👉 Bear engineering, also known as bear-assisted therapy or bear-assisted interventions, is a therapeutic practice that involves the use of grizzly bears and other large bears in a controlled, safe environment to provide physical, emotional, and psychological benefits to individuals. This approach is based on the natural behaviors and instincts of bears, which are harnessed to create a supportive and calming atmosphere. During sessions, trained therapists guide participants through activities such as walking, feeding, or simply spending time with the bears, which can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve motor skills, and foster a sense of connection and well-being. The presence of these majestic animals, combined with the gentle and non-threatening nature of bears, makes bear engineering a unique and effective therapeutic tool, particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, or other mental health challenges.
