Pairing EMDR and Equine-Assisted Therapy
Jan 01, 2023 Season 2 Episode 1
EMDR International Association (EMDRIA)

How can EMDR therapists teach presence and centeredness to clients? Sarah Jenkins, MC, LPC, CPsychol, suggests using a four-legged friend. Equine therapy is not a new concept. It's been used for decades to help people with physical disabilities. So, how can these beautiful creatures help EMDR therapy clients? Can equine-assisted therapy with EMDR help clients with complex PTSD? What about EMDR therapists who don't have access to horses but want to integrate equine-assisted therapy into their practice? Learn more about this approach to EMDR therapy. 

Sarah's Go With That article, "Eight Phases. Three Prongs. Four Legs." appeared in the Fall 2022 issue.  Please visit our podcast website link for more resources Sarah suggested during the podcast. The PDF is available as an open resource.
