Equine Assisted Psychotherapy with Combat Vets
Soldiers are deployed and re-deployed, separated from family, loved ones, home, and from even the seeminly-mundane things of life most of us take for granted, like color, variety, commercials, driving, grocery shopping, internet, restaurant choices, people not in uniform, recreation, socialization, flexibility, restful sleep, and freedom to make decisions.
There are sometimes consequences....
Lack of confidence, sleep disturbance, irritability, isolation, depression, anxiety, hypervigilance, aggression, lack of trust, loss of perspective, grief, poor impulse modulation, feelings of inadequacy, lonliness, inability to express needs, inability to relate, intimacy problems, marital discord, lack of spontaneity and loss of self-respect.
