Aprofundamento em coaching assistido por cavalos
Como cientista, continuo a considerar importante investigar constantemente se o que faço se baseia em investigação científica sólida.
Frequento regularmente formações e leio atentamente a literatura mais recente sobre os temas em que me insiro.
É aqui que gosto de partilhar isso com todos os interessados. Fique atento a esta página, pois ela é atualizada regularmente com novas informações.
treinamento assistido por cavalos em imagens
Primeiro, uma breve palestra da Universidade dos Países Baixos, na qual Theo Verheggen explica, com base na ciência, o que faz sentido e o que não faz sentido em relação ao animal como «curador».
Documentários
Abaixo, dois belos documentários sobre coaching assistido por cavalos.
O primeiro é «Stiller Kamerad», de 2019. Um documentário alemão que acompanha três veteranos com TEPT durante o seu trabalho com cavalos. Todos os três lutam contra traumas do seu tempo de serviço e sofrem muito por causa disso.
O segundo é um pequeno documentário holandês de 2024, “Spiegel”.
Este documentário, filmado de perto, é sobre coaching assistido por cavalos, utilizado com jovens com problemas diversos. É um registo discreto do que os cavalos podem provocar.
Possibilidade de reintegração
O UWV utiliza regularmente o coaching assistido por cavalos para a reintegração. Neste vídeo, você vê Daniëlle (WIA). Ela já faz terapia com cavalos há meses.
A égua Amber a ajuda a lidar com as tensões causadas pelo seu complexo TEPT. O contacto com Amber é muito importante para a sua reintegração.
Se estiver abrangido pela Lei de Doença, WIA ou Wajong e esta forma de reintegração lhe parecer interessante, informe o seu terapeuta. Para mais informações, pode contactar Valerie Elsing – VEVE coaching.
