Harnessing Healing: Equine Therapy's Impact on Mental Health and Addiction

Horses accept you as you are, whether you show up just to the nines or anywhere in between, and then they just feel that love and acceptance that they broke down in tears.
Horses have long been cherished for their beauty and strength, but did you know they can also be incredible partners in mental health and addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Life Unscripted', host Janice Arnoldi sits down with firefighter Rob Leathen to discuss his transformative experience with equine therapy. Rob, who has battled post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), shares how working with horses and donkeys has been a game-changer in his journey to wellness.
He explains that these majestic animals, with their keen sense of their surroundings, offer a unique form of therapy that goes beyond the traditional office setting. Through equine therapy, individuals can learn to conquer fear, build self-confidence, and form deep connections with these empathetic creatures. The benefits are vast, from improved self-esteem to reduced anxiety and depression, all while experiencing the unconditional love and acceptance that horses naturally provide.
If you're looking for an alternative approach to mental health and addiction recovery, this episode offers an insightful peek into the world of equine therapy. Tune in to hear Rob's inspiring story and see if this therapeutic method could be a fit for you.
