Anxiety and Depression Focus

Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy offers a completely unique way to approach what are overwhelming common problems for human beings: anxiety and depression.  Even people who are not diagnosed with a specific anxiety or mood disorder suffer from periods of anxious, repetitive thought patterns, or bouts of depression.  EAP is an effective and powerful intervention that brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Practices to life.  This one day intensive workshop will offer participants the opportunity to learn more about how EAP can quickly address the debilitating effects of anxiety and depression.

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.
