I thought today I'd describe the difference between Equine Assisted Learning and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy since Pillar Ranch offers both. Equine Assisted Learning, or EAL, is designed to help individuals become aware of their habits, personality styles, and choices and how those factors influence and affect others. EAL works for groups, individuals, and families. EAL is effectively used in groups that work together, such as families or teams in a corporate setting. Pillar Ranch has designed workshops for the board of local chambers, sales teams, and youth groups.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, or EAP, is designed to process behaviors that come out presently as a result of past experiences. Some of those experiences can be from sexual abuse, divorce, loss, family separations, and other traumatic experiences. Our past determines how we react to things in the present. Most EAP sessions are done with individuals and families. Sometimes groups of like populations are coordinated.
Each type of session serves its purpose. Most clients have found their sessions effective, enlightening, and the start of lasting change. However, most of us have several issues we want to work on; therefore, four to eight sessions are usually desired. This allows time to become greatly aware of habits and behaviors that are hindering either our personal or professional growth.
