About the Therapist: Jo Corfield - Equine Involvement Therapist
For years I unknowingly lived in a world that seemed to me to hold nothing but fear. I was afraid of everything; especially myself, but at the time I knew no different. 25 years of Anorexia/Bulimia had become so much part of my life, that it was as unimaginable to live without, as the fear, intense self-hatred and feelings of worthlessness, I had also lived with, for as long as I could remember. I was a bad person so naturally I deserved all the problems and failures that resulted from everything I did.
After years of unhappiness, and endless treatments I made a remarkable discovery - horses had all the answers to all the problems I had ever had. My first horse Bronwen taught me, with constant , love, forgiveness and patience, how to come alive and truly and freely live my life.
Although I am fully qualified as a therapist, none of my teachers could touch on the knowledge my horses have given me over the years. It is their knowledge that has helped hundreds of people overcome their unhappiness and love every moment of their lives, free of conflict and full of love for themselves and others.
To be able to pass on what I knew, I needed to know much more about the incredible therapeutic potential my horses were offering to me, so I extensively, studied and researched equine psychology, and the unique beneficial ability horses have, to reflect back to us our inner emotions, and the lessons we can learn from them, on how to re-connect with who we really are. My small herd of 8 horses and ponies have given me an enormous amount of rich material to study, and the combination of human and equine psychology have helped me form the foundations of Equine Involvement Therapy.
