For Therapists
Do you have a client who appears to be at a plateau in their treatment ? Perhaps you
have a sense you are not as effective as you would like to be with your clients. Do you
wonder if your current approach is a "good fit" with your client or perhaps you and your
client have wandered away from their treatment goals. If you thought about any of these
possibilities ... Read on and see how we can help you jump start your interactions with
your clients.
As a therapist, I understand how challenging it can be to develop a trusting relationship
in order to move through pain, past traumas and shame. The horses are a key part of
the treatment team; and, as do therapists and facilitators, they bring to the session their
own personalities and history. Their behaviors are interpreted by the client through their
own set of emotions and behaviors, providing insight into feelings they may not
otherwise be disclosed. In this way, Equine Assisted Mental Health breaks down
defensive barriers.
Equine Assisted Mental Health increases the ability to bond. As we know, many adults
and children are reluctant to sit down in a traditional setting and talk about their
problems and feelings. Many have been in and out of traditional treatment settings and
have not experienced a feeling of success or sustained behavioral changes. Equine
Assisted Mental Health keeps the client engaged. They become an active participant in
all of the activities as well as their treatment plan. Our clients have fun as they figure out
what is they want to change and learn how to develop new coping skills. Equine Assisted
Mental Health allows for direct observation of behaviors, emotional responses and
patterns. The experiential nature of Equine Assisted Mental Health provides an ideal
compliment to traditional therapy.
