Treating trauma is challenging, especially in military culture. Service members and their families face PTSD, depression, divorce, addiction, and suicide. The EAGALA Model provides effective healing through equine-assisted psychotherapy, which suits the military’s hands-on approach.
This method helps clients understand patterns, build strengths, and turn emotional insights into action. Horses facilitate emotional breakthroughs and resilience by acting as metaphors for challenges. Certified EAGALA facilitators help service members, veterans, and their families integrate new behaviors and perspectives.
