What it is:

EAP combines traditional psychotherapy techniques with the natural, intuitive presence of horses to support emotional, behavioral, and psychological growth. This innovative form of therapy leverages the horses' sensitivity and non-judgmental nature to help individuals gain insight, develop new coping skills, and foster personal development.

How It Works:

During EAP sessions, clients engage in various activities with horses, such as grooming, leading, and participating in ground exercises.

The relationship between the client and the horse becomes a powerful metaphor for personal challenges, allowing for profound breakthroughs and healing.

Benefits of EAP:

• Enhanced Self-Awareness: Horses mirror the client’s emotions and behaviors, helping to uncover and address underlying issues.

• Improved Communication: Working with horses requires clear and effective communication, which can translate into better interpersonal skills.

• Emotional Regulation: The calm and grounded presence of horses supports clients in managing and expressing their emotions in a healthy manner.

• Increased Confidence: Achieving goals with the horses fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem.

• Behavioral Change: The hands-on, experiential nature of EAP facilitates lasting changes in behavior by addressing underlying emotional issues.

Who Can Benefit:

EAP is beneficial for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including those dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, substance use disorders and more. It is especially effective for people who may struggle with traditional talk therapy, as the hands-on, experiential nature of EAP offers a different path to healing.
