Healing Together: Family Therapy and Equine Therapy with Melanie Flint
“We truly believe in the family system. It is a process, yeah, and it is a family process.”
Picture this: a family torn apart by addiction, struggling to find their way back to each other. In this episode of 'A Way Through', Jamie Edwards, Director of Community Relations at Archway Academy, sits down with Melanie Flint, a seasoned clinical social worker and founder of JEM Wellness and Counseling in Houston, TX. Melanie brings her expertise in family therapy and equine therapy to the table, offering a unique perspective on the healing process for families dealing with addiction.
She emphasizes the power of 'holding space'—creating a safe environment where every family member can express their pain and start the journey toward recovery. Melanie's approach is all about recognizing the interconnectedness of family members and the ripple effect that one person's recovery can have on the entire unit. You'll hear touching stories of triumph and self-discovery, and gain insights into how equine therapy can be a game-changer for adolescents.
If you're looking for practical advice and heartfelt stories to inspire your own family's healing journey, this episode is a must-listen.
