Podcast Show Notes
Series 10 Episode 7
Guest: Serena Hemmings
In this episode I talk to Serena Hemmings about her experience of having a head injury and her work in equine therapy. Serena works with ‘The Therapeutic Tutors’ who focus on the animal-assisted interventions of Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) and canine assisted support. EFL involves interactions with horses to promote personal growth, self-awareness, leadership, and teamwork. The sessions are led by certified practitioners trained in both horsemanship and facilitation. The Therapeutic Tutors also provide Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy.
We Talk:
-Serena’s personal history with experiencing a brain injury and subsequent surgery
-Her journey through rehabilitation
-The impact of self and identity loss
-The role of equine therapy in her recovery
-What is Equine Facilitated Learning
-Supporting people through equine therapy with various clinical presentations including brain injury, stroke, FND and OCD and trauma.
