When Talking Is Not Enough
I do not have a one size fits all approach to equine therapy. In fact, I never plan ahead for my sessions and instead wait to see how the client presents and then I tailor the session on the spot to best meet their needs. This means that I need to have access to certain techniques, ideas and methods that I can call upon when I determine there’s a need. I combine my equine work with other modalities like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) and IFS (internal family systems). This type of eclectic approach allows me to practice human-centered therapy and meet the client exactly where they are.
