ex sess 3

This session focuses on equine assisted psychotherapy, which is different from hippotherapy and therapeutic riding. The therapy is conducted on the ground and aims to help individuals find their own solutions and experiment. Safety is emphasized, and individuals are encouraged to do what keeps them safe. In this session, a volunteer explores horses and their behavior to understand their own comfort levels. They realize that they are more comfortable with animals and people than being alone. The horses show discomfort when they are together but relax when they are separate. The volunteer reflects on the distance between comfort and discomfort. The session ends with an intern sharing their thoughts on the therapy benefits for children and the importance of nonverbal cues. The intern appreciates the team's guidance in deep thinking and self-awareness.
