Equine Therapy Groupwork
Equine Therapy Groupwork
In conjunction with South Coast Psychology and Pongarosa Equestrian Centre, we run Equine therapy retreat days and 7-week Equine Therapy groups for ACC sensitive claim clients in Puni, Pukekohe.
Equine Therapy retreat days will contain information and experiences similar to the 7-week course. The focus of these days is awareness and regulation, although this will be a basic understanding and experience compared to the 7-week group.
Clients will learn about and explore a topic with the horses in each session. In each of these topics, skills and awareness development allow clients to realise they have choices in dealing with situations, themselves, and others differently.
We support clients in being with the horses and each other, as horses do! So, there will be some new learnings about ‘the Way of the Horse’ for them to get curious about and learn how this knowledge can help us in our lives. Clients will experience observations, interactions, tasks, and play.
Topics explored and skills developed relate to:
Observing accurately
Reflection
Safety
Regulation
Boundaries
Awareness of sensation
Awareness of feelings
Awareness of relationship
Building relationships
Creative expression
