The Stable to hold healthy grieving workshop
“Life after; moving forward from loss”

 

[October 01, 2021] 

The Stable will hold “Life after”, an interactive workshop about moving forward from loss. Taking place on October 16, 2021 from 1 - 4 p.m., participants will be learning about the “Four Tasks of Mourning” by William Worden.

“The ‘Life After’ workshop is an empowering approach to processing grief. We use horse assisted therapy combined with The Four Tasks of Mourning to help those suffering from loss to find a healthy path forward. There is no riding involved so horsemanship skills are not necessary,” said April Doolin, Equine Specialist at ‘The Stable.’

New Perspective

Previous workshop participants have already benefited from “Life After.” Participants dealing with the loss of a loved one have been able to see immediate improvements in their perspective on life. “Life After” enables participants to embrace the new normal that their life has become.

“This type of therapy allows people to take internal and abstract thoughts and feelings and project them onto external objects and animals. Being able to touch, move and interact with those abstract ideas brings a fresh perspective and healing from pain,” said Tedrick.

Registration is Now Open

Life after; moving forward from loss registration is now open.

Up to eight spots are available for those 18 years old and up. To find out more or register, call Debbie Tedrick, Licensed Counselor at [phone].
 

Founded in 2019 as a cooperative venture between Rolling Prairie Stables and Lincoln Pastoral Counseling Service, The Stable uses the EAGALA mode of therapy to incorporate horses into the treatment team. Everything is ground-based, no riding is involved. The team is made up of a mental health professional, equine specialist, and a small herd of horses. The interactive nature of the therapy sessions allows for a unique processing of emotions and events to occur that traditional talk therapy doesn’t offer. The combination of the intuitive nature of horses and the use of metaphor makes this mode of therapy powerful and effective. The Stable holds occasional group events as well as individual therapy sessions.
