On “Mental Breakthroughs,” host Patricia Wu and guest Erin Cain, owner of Grace Reins Equine Therapy, discuss the powerful role horses can play in helping people heal from past traumas.
Horses build trust
The gentle nature of horses allows people to rediscover a sense of trust in themselves and others.
Nature heals
Working with horses outdoors promotes calmness, allowing people to process difficult emotions more easily.
Nonverbal connection
Equine therapy focuses on nonverbal communication, taking pressure off traditional talk therapy and opening new pathways to healing.
