Why Horses?<\/span><\/h1>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Horses are animals that live in the present moment at all times. Hypervigilant, the horse is aware of its environment and its safety. Horses use their intuition and behave in response to subtle behaviours of the herd. Horses also respond to the behaviours and emotions of the human. These observations can provide us with valuable information about ourselves, which can assist us with our therapeutic goals. The participant learns to pay attention to honest feelings and can generate this awareness to day-to-day living.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

An Equine Assisted Psychotherapy session is co-facilitated using a team approach, composed of a\u00a0 licensed Mental Health\u00a0<\/span>Practitioner, an Equine Specialist Practitioner, and horses, as partners of the team. Sessions are ground-based (no riding is involved) and are a metaphorical, experiential, solution-oriented approach to exploring your story through engagement and observations with the horses.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
