“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man”-Winston Churchhill
Sometimes, the only therapy that matters is the kind you can touch and feel. There is a certain kind of communication in “touch” that cannot be achieved in “talk therapy”. Touch is known to provide emotional and physical healing for many people. Because of our litigious society, “touch” is not a typical experience in traditional “inside office” psychotherapy. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy can add this very important experience to the therapeutic process. Horses (being very social and herd animals) are natural caregivers and respond in an empathic way to people’s pain. This, in turn, helps people heal from grief, trauma, depression and anxiety.
