Reflexive vs Reflective Thinking-A Key to Our Process

Our system is not just about making the everyday path energizing and invigorating - but about making sure our recipient has the opportunity for automatic, reflexive thinking un-impeded to hearing issues that matter to them. Making the decisions based on the outcomes they wish. In other words, NOT being guided only by reflexive impulses.

We all feel overly stressed when we are too reflexive, right?

Let me explain.  Reflexive thinking is fast thinking, as Nobel Prize Winner Daniel Kahneman points out in Thinking, Fast and Slow, his insightful book on the essential qualities of the human mind- is fast, intuitive and emotional- and is the kind of thinking that often bypasses the valuable results of slower, reflective thinking, which is more deliberative and logical. There is value in both kind of thinking- but bypassing reflective thinking can lead to some unexpected outcomes.

We strive for both to be in the balance our recipient wants. By engaging in the living, dynamic process the highly trained service dog enables we have 100% success.  Watch the virtual dog training videos to hear more.  See more results from our recipients, in their own words!
