Oppositional Defiant and Conduct Disorder Focus
Horse Sense of the Carolinas, Inc., is offering a one-day interactive workshop designed to increase effective treatment of this challenging population as well as introducing participants to the powerful modality of Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy based on the Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association’s (EAGALA) Model. Participants will learn and practice establishing meaningful rapport, understanding client’s core belief system/patterns, and how to best work with the unique developmental stage of adolescence. Participants will explore creative ways to work with and learn from client’s resistance to treatment.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy creates a natural and non-threatening opportunity, especially for those new to or uncomfortable with traditional therapeutic settings, to identify negative patterns of behavior, and practice new functional ones.
