Healing Emotional Pain

At Healing Hooves Therapy, we offer a unique and powerful approach to healing emotional pain: Equine Facilitated Therapy (EFT). Equine Facilitated Therapy utilizes the connection between horses and humans to create a safe and supportive environment for emotional exploration and growth.

How Does It Work?

Horses are incredibly intuitive animals, picking up on our subtle emotions and body language. In Equine Facilitated Therapy sessions, you’ll interact with horses on the ground, no riding involved. Through these interactions, facilitated by our experienced therapists, you’ll gain insights into your own emotional patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Benefits of Equine Therapy for Emotional Healing:

• Increased Self-Awareness: Horses can act as emotional mirrors, reflecting your feelings back to you in a non-judgmental way. This can lead to a deeper understanding of your emotions and their triggers.
• Improved Emotional Regulation: Equine Facilitated Therapy can help you develop healthier ways to manage difficult emotions, such as anxiety, depression, and anger.
• Enhanced Communication Skills: Horses can help you improve your nonverbal communication skills, which can translate into better communication in all areas of your life.
• Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem: Building a connection with a large animal can be empowering and build trust in your own abilities.
• Stress Reduction: Spending time with horses has been shown to lower cortisol levels, the stress hormone, promoting relaxation and emotional well-being.
