124. Horses and Healing with Betty Jensen | The Power of Equine Therapy


Listen Later

Horses are considered a staple of therapy. They are widely used for physical and emotional healing and physical exercise. They have been used in the medical field for centuries to help patients with their rehabilitation process. In recent years, horses have found themselves in an entirely new field - the field of mental health and therapy.

In this episode with Betty Jensen, we will explore how horses help people with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. We will also talk about how these animals can be beneficial during therapy sessions and outside of them.

Betty is the founder of Jensen Life Coaching, LLC. Before founding Jensen Life Coaching, LCC, she worked as a State-certified Chemical Dependency Professional in Washington State since 2003. Also, she founded and managed a non-profit state-certified faith-based drug and alcohol out-patient unit and foster agency for six years. She also was a Super-Case Manager for Access to Recovery (ATR), helping Chemically-dependent clients access health services. Betty has a master's degree in Ecopsychology, a Bachelor's degree in psychology, and a Washington State certified counselor.
