Windows To My Soul

Windows To My Soul is a center for equine assisted psychotherapy where individuals and groups build the emotional and mental health skills necessary to live connected, empowered and purpose-filled lives through healthy relationships and involvement in their communities. Based on contemporary research that explains the impact of traumatic events and chronic stress on the brain and body, our interventions are designed to address the resulting depression, anxiety, and spectrum of PTSD symptoms. Inherent in all of these symptoms is a loss of connection to self and others and a diminished ability to create and maintain healthy relationships.

Windows To My Soul is collaborating with Jill Gustafson, LCSW to deliver retreats for First Responders that address the often overwhelming emotional and psychological symptoms that are a result of protecting and serving as a First Responder. Exposure to this type of high stress work environment can take a life altering toll on First Responders and their families. Goals of these retreats include processing traumatic events, educating participants on the neurobiological effects of long term cumulative exposure to trauma, provide tools and guidance to calm the neurobiological systems, as well as provide experiences that will help participants reconnect to their relationships, communities, and life.
