Episode notes
Equine facilitated therapy leverages the innate ability of horses to sense human emotions and physiological states, functioning as a powerful tool for understanding and addressing emotional authenticity. When individuals, such as anxious children, attempt to mask their true feelings, horses can perceive the inauthenticity through their instinctual responses as prey animals. This reaction highlights the concept that while a person’s cognition may not recognize discomfort or fear, their physiological responses can trigger a fight or flight mechanism. Horses provide immediate feedback, helping individuals recognize their own emotional states and prompting awareness of their true feelings, which is crucial for emotional healing and self-discovery.
