Equine Therapy: The purpose of animal assisted therapy is to provide interventions that would not be possible with only a human provider. Equine assisted Psychotherapy utilizes the horse’s responsive nature as a therapy tool. They are naturally curious, have individual personalities, and mirror human behavior. The structure provides a unique atmosphere for the client to work through personal challenges. EAP provides clients with in-the-moment experiences to learn how to manage current situations and future challenges with a focus on personal strengths and resources. Through this experiential based therapy, the Veteran gains greater insight into themselves through experiencing natural consequences, successes, and mistakes. There is something to be learned at every step of the process. (Offered by appointments on Sundays. Email karendaltonhealthyliving@gmail.com)
Yoga: Body-based work, such as yoga, increases sense of awareness, safety, and mastery over one’s body while building skills to successfully interpret and tolerate physiological and effective states. (Located at Shri Studio in Pawtucket on Monday nights until we have a new location in Foster)
Reflexology: Application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion.
