Dr. Shkedi will guide participants through a process to examine how EAA/T practitioners can deepen their understanding and stay open with a fresh focus on the individuals with Post Trauma, providing them with individualized EAA/T strategies that will help the client address their specific needs in the present time. Dr. Shkedi will consider how practitioners might effectively stand in clients’ shoes for their knowledge of humans and horses to address specific client trauma-related issues. She will discuss how, through somatic experiences, clients can be relaxed and helped to move from survival mode and avoidance towards positive thoughts and feelings, and ultimately self-management, emphasizing how relationships with horses provide holistic energetic healing for those who are suffering post-trauma.
