Podcast Show Notes

Series 10 Episode 7

Guest: Serena Hemmings

In this episode I talk to Serena Hemmings about her experience of having a head injury and her work in equine therapy. Serena works with ‘The Therapeutic Tutors’ who focus on the animal-assisted interventions of Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) and canine assisted support. EFL involves interactions with horses to promote personal growth, self-awareness, leadership, and teamwork. The sessions are led by certified practitioners trained in both horsemanship and facilitation. The Therapeutic Tutors also provide Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.

We Talk:

-Serena’s personal history with experiencing a brain injury and subsequent surgery

-Her journey through rehabilitation

-The impact of self and identity loss

-The role of equine therapy in her recovery

-What is Equine Facilitated Learning

-Supporting people through equine therapy with various clinical presentations including brain injury, stroke, FND and OCD and trauma.
