Horses are large, imposing animals. For Jane Faulker, they are an amazing partner to effective therapy. Hear how Jane uses horse assisted therapy (also called equine assisted therapy) to help people ground themselves in the present moment and to start the healing process. Among many topics, we also discuss negative emotions and the role that a therapist and an animal such as a horse can play in helping someone sit with, and process, heavy emotions.

Jane has a master’s degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy and owns and runs Equine Assisted Therapy Australia in the hinterland of tropical Queensland. Jane is also a registered nurse and yoga instructor.
