Everyone is different. Some deal with setbacks and challenges, brushing it off and moving on. Other people need to rebound and still others may get stuck in a place of pain and fear. For some a good friend to talk to may be enough to get them back on track. A skilled therapist can help many, while 
some need a variety of interventions.
No one approach is right or wrong. It is just a question of what works for you. This NPR report shares a new study, published in the Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology, that talks about how for some, a combination of medication and therapeutic interventions is the most effective way to address anxiety.
Nevada Equine Assisted Therapy can be a powerful part of any treatment plan. The challenging, though non-threatening interactions with our herd can help client’s realize that they can do things that may have seemed daunting to them in the past. The act of grooming a horse is very soothing, and as one client recently observed ‘I can think about how wonderful this feels when I am stressed at school’. For many clients just being able to be themselves, with no judgement – horses 
don’t care what you look like, how you dress or what your voice sounds like (among other things) – is a gift. We start on the ground, building understanding and confidence. Once up on the horse, clients learn that they can do so much more than they may have thought.
If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety, or any 
other issue that limits the ability to fully enjoy life, seek help. There are many resources out there. If you are interested in learning more about how Equine Assisted Therapy can help, call or email us. We will be happy to answer your questions and to set up a time for you to visit the ranch.
