Equine assisted psychotherapy is a
relatively new type of Experiential Psychotherapy that includes horses or other equines as part of the treatment. The horses may participate in the therapy in a wide variety of ways. They help to create kinesthetic experiences
that change, not just thinking, but emotions and perceptions. As in other types
of therapy, individual therapist, use theories that she or he has learned to create a therapeutic environment she or he believes
will help the client to heal. As with any form of therapy, it is wise to choose
a clinician who is both licensed and experienced. In Equine Assisted Therapies
there are only a few credentialing bodies. At this time they include Certificaion
Board for Equine Interaction Professionals and the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EGALA). Some clinicians work with an Equine Professional, who does the horse handling part of the session. But, even when there is an equine professional present, it is helpful for the clinician
to be an experienced horse person. Psychotherapy works in part because it is
a place to go where we are seen and heard and accepted. Adding horses to the
treatment can help individuals benefit even more from therapy.
