🎙️ Episode 94: A New Approach to Healing with Equine Therapy in Camden County
In this episode of the Get In Your Business Podcast, host Alison Shores sits down with Molly McHugh of Camden Behavioral Wellness to discuss an innovative mental health approach now being introduced to Camden County — Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
This experiential form of therapy combines traditional mental health practices with the presence of horses, creating a unique environment that helps individuals process trauma, regulate emotions, and reconnect with themselves in a powerful way.
Molly explains how trauma is stored in both the brain and the body, and how EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) works to help individuals reprocess those experiences. She also shares how combining EMDR with equine therapy enhances grounding, emotional awareness, and healing outcomes.
The conversation highlights the growing need for alternative therapy options in the community and how this program could make a meaningful impact — especially for veterans, trauma survivors, and foster children.
🔑 Key Topics Covered:
What Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy is and how it works
The difference between traditional talk therapy and experiential therapy
How trauma is stored in the brain and body
Understanding EMDR and its role in trauma recovery
Why horses are effective partners in the therapeutic process
Who can benefit from equine therapy (veterans, foster youth, trauma patients)
What a typical session looks like (no horseback riding required)
How this program is being introduced in Camden County
