Beliefs I Hold as a Therapist…

I believe that no matter how much education, training, or experience we have, there is always something new to learn.

The moment we think we know everything is the moment we stop growing.

Every client brings a unique story, perspective, and experience. Every training offers a new lens. Every conversation has the potential to teach us something we didn’t know before.

Being a therapist isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about remaining curious, humble, and open to learning throughout the journey.

Growth doesn’t end when we earn a degree or a license. It continues every day we choose to listen, learn, and expand our understanding.

Because when we continue to grow, we are better able to serve those who place their trust in us.

Doesn’t she look beautiful after her bath… wait were you expecting a clean pony???

Set, who had just been bathed and brushed, promptly dropped to the ground and rolled in the dirt.

We couldn’t help but laugh.

It felt like the perfect reminder that progress isn’t about staying perfectly polished. Life gets messy. We have setbacks. We get dirty. But none of that takes away from how far we’ve come or what we’ve accomplished.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is celebrate the win, laugh at the mess, and keep moving forward.

If you ever get to experience bathing a horse in the best of company while listening to the Beatles… I encourage you

Do it…

💙🐎💛

“Sometimes attachment looks less like words and more like walking alongside someone who helps you feel safe.”

Research continues to show that attachment matters.

Attachment is more than a theory. It is the foundation of how we learn to trust, connect, regulate emotions, and navigate relationships throughout our lives.

When our early relationships are consistent, safe, and responsive, we often develop a secure sense of self and connection. When those relationships are unpredictable, absent, or overwhelming, we may carry patterns of fear, avoidance, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting others into adulthood.

The good news? Research also tells us that attachment is not fixed.

Growth happens through safe relationships, meaningful connections, and experiences that help us feel seen, heard, and understood. Our brains and nervous systems can learn new patterns.

This is one reason I value the work I do. Whether it’s through traditional therapy, EMDR, or the quiet presence of horses, connection creates opportunities for restoration and even when I’m working on myself ( yes, I’m still a work in progress too)

Sometimes change doesn’t begin with advice or solutions.

Sometimes it begins with simply feeling safe enough to connect.

One of the greatest lessons horses teach us is the power of connection without words. They remind us that sometimes healing isn’t found in advice, solutions, or explanations. Sometimes it’s found in feeling seen, accepted, and safe enough to simply be.

Set has a way of reminding me to slow down, stay grounded, and trust the moment. The herd never rushes us. They meet us exactly where we are.

Today, I was reminded once again that connection is often found in the quietest moments. 💛🐎

We are going to feel many things throughout the day—joy, frustration, grief, hope, fear, peace, and everything in between. The goal isn’t to get rid of our feelings or judge them as good or bad. The goal is to notice them.

When we slow down and become curious about what we’re feeling, we can begin to understand what those emotions are trying to tell us. Every feeling carries information. Every feeling has a purpose.

Our emotions respond best when we approach them with patience, kindness, and respect—not force.

And perhaps the most important reminder: feelings are temporary. They come and go like waves. We don’t have to become them. We can acknowledge them, learn from them, and let them pass.

Today, whatever you’re feeling, notice it. Be curious about it. Treat it with kindness. There may be wisdom waiting there. 💙🐎💛

At A SET CHANCE, I have the privilege of watching these moments unfold-
moments where trust begins to grow, walls begin to soften, and one begins to find themself through connection.

Connection changes everything.
