I'm showing up for this interview right now- and this is something that we do in an equine quite often- that I'll be talking and my therapist will be like I'll be petting the horse while I'm talking, but at certain points it will be very mindless petting and then she'll ask me: how is your body feeling right now while you're petting this horse and you're talking about whatever I might be talking about?
Ever thought about how a horse could help you heal? In this episode of 'Finding OK', Hecate chats with Cailin, who returns to share the latest chapter in their healing journey. This time, it's all about Equine Therapy and the surprising role yoga plays in their recovery. Cailin reveals how working with horses has done wonders for their boundary-setting skills, offering a unique complement to traditional talk therapy.
Horses, with their intuitive nature, seem to understand human emotions on a deep level, providing a sense of comfort and connection that words alone sometimes can't reach. But that's not all. Cailin also dives into how yoga has become a cornerstone of their recovery from addiction. They explain how their yoga practice is intertwined with somatic body psychotherapy, creating a holistic approach that values the body as much as the mind.
Through trauma-informed yoga, Cailin has found a safe space to reconnect with their body and navigate the complexities of their past. The conversation also touches on the broader benefits of animal-assisted therapy, including its use in correctional facilities. Animals can offer a non-judgmental presence that helps individuals feel more at ease and open to healing. This episode sheds light on the importance of body awareness and the need for alternative therapies that go beyond traditional talk therapy.
If you're curious about how unconventional methods like Equine Therapy and yoga can aid in trauma recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartwarming discussion that highlights the power of connecting with animals and your own body to find a path to healing.
