Research Alert: Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) has gained increasing attention as a potential therapeutic intervention for individuals suffering with trauma-related disorders. However, empirical data supporting its efficacy, particularly in children and adolescents, remains limited. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of EAP in addressing the multifaceted nature of trauma. A literature review of research studies from 2008-2024 was conducted to qualitatively analyze the psychological, emotional, and physiological benefits of EAP for trauma survivors. Our findings indicate that EAP has significant potential in improving emotional regulation and decreasing trauma-related symptoms.

The level of access we have to education and learning these days is actually mindblowing, even if you compare it to just a few decades ago. We’ve gone from libraries, to at-home encyclopedias, to the internet, to AI — all in the time it took to raise a millennial.

And with this new access to information (and a shifting stigma around mental health support) we are seeing more and more people getting intentional about their own growth and healing. Which is great news! Right?

It’s certainly the right direction, but I think many of us are getting stuck in the intellectualization of so much of this information and we can’t figure out how to actually apply it to our lives. We recognize things like trauma and neurodivergence more openly. We’ve learned our triggers and have a toolbox filled with skills we should be implementing. We can talk about nearly any situation and name an appropriate and healthy response. Yet every day we keep getting pulled back into the turmoil.

So what’s the catch? With more therapy than ever, why are we still struggling so deeply?

Recently, I heard a poem that said, “How selfish would it be for me to feel my own pain,” and I can’t help but wonder how many of us hold that same sentiment. Afraid to let ourselves actually experience. To feel the full range of our emotions. To honor the depth. To truly embody the healing we keep claiming to know so much about — because it might be inconvenient for someone else.

I’m sorry but the truly selfish thing is continuing to put our needs on the back burner. The selfish thing is closing our eyes to the pain. The selfish thing is pretending everything is ok. Because it doesn’t stay hidden. Even despite our best efforts, we project our sadness, our anger, our wounds onto others — perpetuating the same cycles of anguish all because we refuse to feel.

Live. Laugh. Love.

We know. We hang the words on our walls and plaster our social media pages with them.

“But, what if I live in a way that people will judge?”
“What if I laugh too loud?”
“What if I love someone I’m not supposed to?”

This journey is not an easy one by any means. Our systems are broken, and pain and fear run rampant — rightfully so. But until we are willing to look at that pain, to acknowledge that fear, to hold that sorrow it will continue to bubble under the surface — draining our energy, dysregulating our nervous systems, and trapping us in unfulfilling spaces.

And therein lies the paradox. We’re so desperate for peace but we can’t get there if we’re not willing to also hold the pain. We want freedom while stuffing our bodies into cages of “should” and “supposed to.”

We know the tools, but actual embodiment asks us to apply them, to do the thing we’ve been taught to avoid — to feel, to breathe into the ache instead of numbing it, to cry without shame, to laugh out loud, to move and shake and sing and scream. To stop treating our humanness like an inconvenience.

Our horses remind us of this every day. They don’t ask permission to feel. They don’t shrink their fear, or hide their joy, or apologize for their hunger. They move, they rest, they play, they connect—because their bodies tell them to. And being in their presence invites us back into our own.

Maybe the real selfish thing isn’t feeling our pain. Maybe it’s refusing to. Because when we won’t let ourselves feel, we hand that weight to the people around us. But when we choose to embody it—when we actually let ourselves live it—we give everyone, including ourselves, a chance at something honest. And I’d argue we need honesty more than ever right now.
