I have written about this before. PTSD comes in all shapes and sizes.
In this article by Daniel J. Vance MS, LPC, NCC, Dr. Vance talks about his personal struggles with PTSD.
The clients we see have often dealt with some trauma in their lives. Maybe neglect, abandonment, or abuse. Our perhaps they too experienced some type of catastrophic accident. They come to us struggling in many ways. Hyper-sensitivity that looks like ADHD. Lack of focus. Depression. Anxiety. Sleep issues. Relationship problems. As prey animals horses are especially adept at relating to those dealing with PTSD. Through work with horses we can help our clients find a path to a healthier, happier life.

We will show you around, introduce you to our wonderful horses, learn more about what you are dealing with and share how we may be able to help.
