Hello fellow bloggers and blog readers :)
During a weekend in February, I attended a conference in Marriage and Family Therapy. Among the interesting speakers there, there was also an option to attend a section on EQUINE THERAPY
Can you guess what I did?
Our un-mounted session included three problem solving exercises built from the EAGALA model (EAGALA is one of three main institutions available for Equine Therapy Accreditation, the other two are CHA and NARHA)
Anyway, During the session we tried to move the horses without any materials (like halters or lead ropes) and the photographer at the conference caught some neat moments with me and two of the horses (they were following me around the arena)
I was actually thrilled to see this new model of Equine Therapy, and impressed with the Reins of Change Program - maybe I'll be sending blogs from there in the future! Here I am with my "serious" listening face.

Hey! Did you leave Heritage before we started doing EAGALA?!? Did you know that Chelsea and I got certified in it? It's so cool. I know you probably helped with some of the Life's Little Obstacles activities, but yeah... it's awesome. I love EAGALA!!!

Nice post.....
Divorce is a concept that is all too common in America today. In fact, more than half of the marriages in this country end in divorce. Psychologists and other mental health professionals are inundated with this startling and troublesome statistic. One of the major reasons divorce has become so popular is that it has become so easy and socially acceptable to get one.
When a couple hits a rough spot in their marriage – and even the most happily married couple will hit rough spots along the way – they often will go to a psychologist or marriage therapist for therapy for a while, then perhaps a trial separation. If things don’t work out pretty quickly, they get divorced. One, two, three – it’s just that simple. Of course, it’s really not that simple for the kids and the rest of the family or for the new families formed by remarriage. But when things are at their worst in the marriage, divorce may appear to be in the easiest way out at the time. http://www.newportpsychotherapy.com/psychology_topics/divorce_marriage_therapy_therapist.html
