330: How I Found Heart + Soul Connection...

LAURA REAGAN, LCSW-C
About this episode

Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C shares an experience from several years ago when she first felt the magic of interacting with horses in a therapeutic environment. As you listen to this vulnerable recounting of what it felt like for her, you may get a feel for how powerful equine work can be. Taking talking out of psychotherapy allows for a different level of relational attunement.

If you missed last week's interview with Mary Sue McCarthy, be sure to check it out for more specifics on how and why equine assisted psychotherapy is so effective at helping us connect with ourselves and other beings.

This month we will continue the theme of exploring equine-assisted psychotherapy and relationships with upcoming episodes about Natural Lifemanship and Animal Assisted Therapy. Then next month you'll hear our interview with internationally known couples therapy expert and author Terry Real.
