Round Pen Sessions

Round pen sessions are a transformative experience with you and your horse. We will start by exploring your current blocks and issues that you are facing. We will then head into the pasture and you will choose a horse to partner with. Once in the round pen-you will ask for connection with your horse. Once you have established a connection-the magic happens. You will be challenged to think, feel and look at your current patterns of behavior, thoughts and feelings. 

You will leave the round pen with a new sense of self and purpose.

Session : 2.5 hours

Investment: $500

What is EMDR?

EMDR addresses the psychological and physical symptoms stemming from adverse life experiences. 

EMDR follows an eight phase protocol using bilateral stimulation.

Why choose intensive work? 

The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Now more than ever, we need flexibility in how we get support. EMDR intensives are personalized treatment plans that allow you to skip the waitlist by giving you faster access to select spots, and are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals.

Who should do an EMDR intensive?

Perhaps you’ve had a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. Maybe you now cognitively understand new things, yet your body is still confused, so you’re curious about how intensive EMDR therapy can help as you work with your primary talk therapist. Perhaps you’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive. Perhaps you’re needing help —- and a lot of it—- right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better. Perhaps, with COVID, you need more efficient support as the busy parent with kids doing virtual learning and/or the working professional who has even more on their plate since the pandemic. Perhaps you are a current, weekly client who is needing extra, focused support quickly.  Perhaps you are a new client who just prefers to work intensively. 

Research:

-Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. 

-Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. 

-The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session. 

Why horses and EMDR?

Horses are amazing for EMDR work because they provide us with a living, breathing, co-regulator. While processing you will have the option to be with a horse of your choice in a private, covered round pen. Your horse will provide support, a warm hug when needed & levity when the burdens get heavy.
