#Horse Therapy

UNICORN AFTERNOON!

She should be a therapy horse. This afternoon was SO fun, for the children and for me, and Talisi was such a saint! I've never done that with her before, but she stood so nice and still while the two girls drew on her (with hair chalk! Totally safe!).

The unicorn browband I made (with hot glue, fake flowers and a 3d printed horn) was the show stopper.

Next time we'll try to draw wings.

I think I remember you talking about how you did/do horse therapy and I wanted to ask you how you like it or how it helps you? My therapist has talked recently about wanting me to do horse therapy and no matter how she explained it it confused me. Even tho I really love horses, it kinda scares me I guess. If I'm mistaken feel free to ignore this lol

yeah i used to go to horse therapy!

for me, it's been an amazing help at specifically recognizing the physical symptoms of my MIs, as well as managing them/staying functional long enough to be able to go to a safe place (for example, being able to hold off a panic attack long enough to go somewhere safe before it's all on me)

therapy with horses/animals in general is also very good at keeping you focused, since there's.. an animal there. it can help with moments of dissociation, since they can often physically keep you in the moment (with the help of a guiding therapist) and can be much more comforting than a human can be, since animals are very genuine creatures :3

horses in specific are also great mirrors for our feelings, since they are very sensitive. i think it depends a lot on their training, and the therapist in question, but for me it was always very therapeutic to be tense and nervous, and the horse reacting to me very tensely, but as we started working on calming down with my therapist, i could visibly see and feel the horse relax, and calm down with me.

a situation that happened in therapy, that i'm gonna carry with me forever: we were in an enclosure and my then-current therapy horse was allowed to roam free. i got really overwhelmed and started crying, and my therapy horse, who had up until then just walked around trying to eat the grass outside the fences, perked up and walked to me and breathed in my face until i stopped crying. a real storybook moment ;w;

ANYWAY that all said, despite being nervous/scared about it, i think it's worth giving a shot if you're allowed the chance! the therapist is not likely to put you into any situation you're uncomfortable with, and is obviously going to put both your and the horse's safety and comfort above anything else, so there's no need to fear being in a situation you're not ready for! also, just in case you're nervous about it; riding a horse is not mandatory in horse therapy, it can all be done with or without getting on the horse!

im sorry this is very messy and idk if i even answered your question properly but AAAaa aaa feelings words thoughts, jumbled up in my dumb head!

as a person experienced with horses i can confirm this

i don't think talk therapy would fix light yagami but i do think he would enjoy it. i am however one billion thousand percent certain that horse therapy would fix all his problems forever. if you put a horse in his care he would immediately transform into the calmest chillest person alive and he could be trusted with stationary of all sorts. he needs to be responsible for a delicate and flighty creature which could also kill him if it so chose. he needs to feed a gigantic animal a molasses cookie from his palm. you understand.

Hey uh friendly reminder that Eddie got himself into this mess and Christopher has every right to not want to talk to his dad no matter what his dad set up for his birthday. Chris is 14 fucking years old he is not being manipulated by his grandmother who is just trying to make him happy you people need to just accept the fact that Eddie was in the wrong and screwed the fuck up, Helena is not some evil mastermind poisoning Chris against him and implying so takes away Chris’ agency and autonomy. He’s old enough to make these decisions on where he wants to live.

Hey! Started following you from the moment you started posting things on #curse of strahd. Haven't seen Patataj in a while. I love your art and will definetley commission you when the opportunity comes!

Just wanted to know how is your loveley bard doing? How is the campaign overall?

I hope this question didn't bother you much

Patataj is still running through Barovia, only making the soundest of decisions! For example he wanted to protect some werewolves from certain death after he helped them rebel so he agreed with Strahd's offer of giving him 10 whole favors. He was just too happy about the werewolves being okay.

Rahadin was angry, not so much because Patataj owes favors to Strahd, but because Patataj is clearly absolutely terrible about making deals. And what if something else asks for a bargain?
