Language
Horses taught me that language isn’t spoken—it’s sensed.
The twitch of an ear, the shift of breath, the way a body tells the truth before words ever arrive.
This blog explores how that same unspoken language shows up in trauma therapy and what it asks of us as clinicians.
The Herd - Safety in Belonging
The herd taught me the first rule of healing: safety creates belonging, not the other way around. When a horse feels safe, they return to themselves. People aren’t any different.
This chapter explores how the nervous system shifts when it encounters true attunement—real presence—not performance. Belonging is a biological experience long before it’s an emotional one, and the herd mirrors that truth with unapologetic clarity.
