What is equine assisted psychotherapy?
Equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is a client-centered, solution-oriented approach to counseling. This style of therapy is based in the belief that people learn their best by hands-on experience. In EAP, clinicians work as part of a team that includes a mental health professional and an equine specialist, this allows the team to support the client’s needs and ensure safety of horses and clients. All work in EAP is done on the ground (no riding) where the horses and clients can interact freely with one another. Because horses are prey animals, they are very sensitive and aware of their environments. They pay close attention to body language and, through their nonverbal cues, provide clients meaningful feedback and insight that can be invaluable in client growth. The sheer size of horses can help clients put their world in perspective, and their unique and individual personalities provide clients with a healthy balance of challenge, humor and love.
