Harnessing Healing: Marla Berger on Equine Therapy’s Role in Recovery
“Equine-assisted psychotherapy and other similar activities give clients an opportunity to apply the insights they have gained through their talk therapy sessions.”
What if your path to recovery involved a four-legged therapist? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Marla Berger, a clinician specializing in experiential therapy, to discuss the unique benefits of equine-assisted psychotherapy. This innovative approach involves working with horses to help individuals struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Marla explains how these intuitive animals mirror our emotions and behaviors, offering a unique reflection that can be both eye-opening and healing.
During a session, clients interact with horses in a custom-designed environment tailored to their specific needs. This interaction helps them apply insights from traditional talk therapy, fostering accountability and rebuilding trust. Marla also delves into the ethical considerations and certification models within equine therapy, shedding light on its credibility and effectiveness.
If you're curious about alternative therapies or seeking new ways to support your recovery journey, this episode offers a fascinating look at how horses can help heal the mind and soul.
