The Locked up Living Podcast: Surviving and thriving in prisons and other challenging environments

In this episode, David and Naomi meet Caitriona Lyons, a mental health specialist in equine assisted psychotherapy. Caitriona explains that horse-assisted therapy is a form of therapy where horses are used to support people in their mental health journey. The therapy is conducted on the ground, and no horse riding experience is needed. The horses help people to get to know themselves better and provide a sense of calm and relaxation. Katrina shares stories of how horses have helped individuals, including children with anger issues and adults in addiction recovery. She also discusses the availability of horse-assisted therapy and recommends turning off the TV and spending time in nature as ways to promote well-being.
