Episode #163 The Healing Power of Horses

Who do you turn to for healing support?  A human?  Well, yeah. I know that's a weird question.  Of course you turn to a human, right?  Wait a minute.  What about comfort animals?  Maybe my question isn't so strange afterall. We know pets offer comfort, campanionship and unconditional love (most of the time anyway).  But, what about actual healing?  Can they help with that? Horses can.  They have a special magic unique to them.  My guest, Denise Wilson, felt and witnessed this magic from a young age.   Fueled with a passion to help others heal from trauma, addiction and other mental and emotional health issues, Denise founded Freedom Equine Connection in Dixon, California. Denise joins me today to share real life examples of how her organization's horses have helped with a family's House Fire Trauma Recovery, First Responder PTSD, Estranged Relationships, Suppressed Emotions, Autism and Team Building.  You'll be amazed by the versatility of horse therapy. In this episode we explore:
