Clinicians have long recognized that trauma therapy provides a pathway to recovery, and Equine-Assisted Mental Health for Healing Trauma provides that pathway for those who work with horses and clients together. This book demonstrates a range of equine-assisted mental health approaches and step-by-step strategies for facilitating recovery from trauma for children, adults, and families. Chapters address topics such as chronic childhood trauma, accident-related trauma, complex trauma and dissociation, posttraumatic growth in combat veterans, somatic experiencing and attachment, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), reactive attachment disorder (RAD), relational trauma, and sexual trauma. Experts also provide case studies accompanied by transcript analyses to demonstrate the process of trauma healing. Clinicians will come away from the book with a wealth of theoretical and practical skills and an in-depth, trauma-informed understanding that they can use directly in their work with clients.
"Kay Trotter and Jennifer Baggerly's Equine-Assisted Mental Health for Healing Trauma is a game changer. This book considerably increases the level of conversation around including equines in the treatment of trauma and promotes a much higher level of competency for those interested in this area of practice. I applaud each of the contributing authors for their scholarship and commitment to excellence, and I recommend this book as an invaluable resource for professionals."
Leif Hallberg, MA, LPC, LCPC, researcher, psychotherapist, and author of The Clinical Practice of Equine-Assisted Therapy and The Equine-Assisted Therapy Workbook
"This book is a much-needed resource for professionals who work with trauma survivors and incorporate equines into their therapy. Each chapter outlines the theoretical foundation of the model described and includes detailed examples of sessions that demonstrate working with equines. A variety of techniques are covered for both childhood trauma and adult trauma populations. Ethical issues of working with horses and excellent references are also presented."
