EMDR & Equine-Assisted Therapy-Toni Lima: "The horses show me what the client needs."

In this episode, Toni Lima, MSW, LISW, PATH, EAGALA educates on the use of both evidenced-based EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing therapy) and Equine (horse)-Assisted Therapy (EA) and using them in tandem (EA-EMDR) to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship obstacles and behavioral regulation in children: a great add-on layer or replacement for talk therapy.  EMDR is non-invasive and focuses on resetting negative core beliefs or stuck thoughts.  Equine assisted therapy supports self-regulation, emotional soothing and a safe play to practice mindfulness and self-nurturing for oneself and a therapeutic animal partner.  In this shared approach, challenges including complicated trauma can be addressed in a safe, supportive setting.  Toni touts amazing outcomes for herself and others and the benefit of a life spent in the community of horses.
