Somatic Experiencing For Animals – Sarah Schlote, MA, RP, CCC, SEP

Somatic Experiencing is an ethological approach to trauma resolution inspired by animal models of nervous system recovery following adverse experiences. However, this information is not always applied to the animals themselves in the fields of animal training, health, and welfare, which commonly rely primarily on behaviourism and operant conditioning. This webinar will examine trauma in wild and domesticated non-human animals, and how SE can support animal nervous systems in various contexts, such as pet ownership, animal-assisted interventions, equine-assisted interventions, horse training, equine bodywork, etc.

This webinar is 1 hour and 44 minutes long.
