What is Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (TF-EAP)?

TF-EAP is a specialized form of therapy that integrates traditional trauma treatment approaches with equine-assisted activities. It is designed to help individuals regulate their nervous system and heal from trauma through interactions with horses in a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment.

Trauma-Informed Framework: TF-EAP is grounded in evidence-based trauma treatment principles, emphasizing safety, trust, empowerment, and emotional regulation.
Equine Involvement: Horses are active participants in therapy. Clients engage with them through groundwork (not riding), including grooming, leading, and observing horse behavior. The horse’s responses can mirror clients’ emotions and behaviors, offering powerful insights.
Experiential Learning: Clients learn to regulate emotions, establish boundaries, and build healthy relational patterns through direct, hands-on experiences with the horses, perhaps more effectively than through talk therapy alone.
