Therapeutic writing is highlighted as a beneficial tool for young children, sometimes preferred over equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP). The speaker, an executive director at an equine therapy facility, emphasizes the importance of assessing children's needs and existing therapy connections. Therapeutic riding is presented as a complementary option for those not ready for verbal trauma processing, with rhythmic movement aiding in trauma healing. Effective management of emotional outbursts during sessions is crucial, and the speaker advises against mixing therapeutic riding with EAP to avoid confusion. Collaboration with other facilities is encouraged to ensure comprehensive emotional support for clients.
