Exploring Trust, Surrender, and Growth Through Equine Therapy
In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of equine therapy and its impact on both personal development and relationships. Sharing a recent experience at an equine therapy retreat in Oregon, we discuss how horses can mirror our emotions and behaviors, leading to profound insights and shifts. From the initial connection with the horses to facing challenges and breakthroughs, we highlight the importance of trust, surrender, and support in fostering growth and healing. We also emphasize the value of shared experiences in strengthening our marriage and the importance of integrating new learnings into daily life. This episode is a testament to the power of vulnerability, courage, and the journey of self-discovery.
What started as a weekend of slowing down turned into a deep dive into trust, surrender, personal growth, and what it truly means to support your partner through transformation.
From confronting discomfort in group dynamics to the life-altering moment Dave sat eye-to-eye with a 1,400-pound horse, this episode explores the emotional intensity and relational insights that come when you leave your comfort zone and do the work—together.
