Reclaiming Self:

An Equine-Informed Therapy Program for Codependency

Find Your Voice. Restore Your Boundaries. Rebuild Connection.

Codependency often begins with love and care—but over time, it can lead to patterns of over-giving, people-pleasing, and losing sight of your own needs and identity. If you find yourself constantly attending to others at the expense of your own well-being, struggling with boundaries, or defining your worth through someone else’s emotions or actions, this program is for you.

“Reclaiming Self” is a group or individual equine-informed therapy program designed to support healing from codependent patterns through grounded, relational experiences with horses.

Why Equine-Informed Therapy for Codependency?

Horses are powerful teachers of boundaries, presence, and authenticity. They do not perform to please or enable. Instead, they offer honest feedback and expect clarity, consistency, and emotional congruence. In other words—they respond to how we show up.

For those recovering from codependency, this can be an incredibly healing experience. Horses help us:

  • Tune into our own feelings and needs

  • Practice setting and respecting healthy boundaries

  • Reconnect with inner wisdom and body-based signals

  • Explore what true mutual connection feels like—without losing the self

What You’ll Experience

In this program, clients participate in a blend of equine activities, therapeutic dialogue, and reflective exercises designed to promote personal growth and relationship healing.

Sessions include:

  • Mindful grooming and leading exercises with horses

  • Boundary-setting and assertiveness practice

  • Groundwork activities focused on relational patterns

  • Guided emotional awareness and body-based processing

  • Nature-based metaphor and symbolism for deeper insight

All activities are done on the ground—no riding required—and tailored to your comfort level.

Program Goals

  • Identify codependent behaviors and their roots

  • Build emotional awareness and self-trust

  • Explore relationship dynamics through interaction with horses

  • Develop communication and boundary-setting skills
