What one client experienced:
“Earlier this year, I attended a workshop on Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) led by Dr. Angela Sherman. I was first drawn to EAP because, at first glance, it seemed to offer clients a safe space to explore complex issues such as fear, anxieties, and deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others and the world. As an art therapist who works primarily with adolescents that have experienced complex trauma, I found that EAP has many parallels with art therapy. I was apprehensive at the start of the workshop since I don't have any experience with horses, not unlike clients who are nervous about art therapy because they lack any artistic training. I found that the novel and strength-based model of EAP gave participants in our workshop the opportunity to notice how we interact with others based on how we attempted to interact with the horses. EAP is a wonderful model of treatment and method of self-care, and I hope there will be opportunities in the future for collaboration between art therapists and EAP providers.” - Amy, ATR
