Verbal & Nonverbal Affecting Client Flow

Verbal and nonverbal communication play a crucial role in therapy sessions. As a therapist or equine specialist, it is important to be mindful of our body language and nonverbal cues. By mirroring the client's nonverbals, we can establish rapport and create a comfortable environment. Observing the client's body language helps us create a safe space for them to express themselves. Equine specialists should also be mindful of their physical placement to maintain focus on the horse. Nonverbal interventions should be tailored to each client's unique needs. It is equally important for us to be aware of our own nonverbal cues and find a balance between authenticity and sensitivity. Prioritizing emotional and physical safety is crucial, and paying attention to nonverbal cues enhances the flow of the therapy session.
