4 Programs Our Methods Phoenix Rising Changing Leads Equine assisted psychotherapy, equine assisted coaching, and equine riding therapy is a central component of everything we do and our equine philosophy and methodology is enshrined in The Phoenix Rising programs. Heroine s Journey This experiential program is exclusive to Gateways to Transformation and is designed to help the facility s clients travel down the Heroine s mythic journey and come back to herself with a healthier more holistic sense of self. The main lesson and goal of this program is to help the client begin to value herself and the world around her again. Nutrition Program (CORE) Our nutritional support program combines gardening, weekly meal preparation with natural organic healthy foods, menu planning, and shopping to help take clients from gardening to kitchen setup to feeding their body in a healthy manner. From Victim to Victory This program was designed specifically for women. Because trauma is an underlying issue, trauma affects all other treatment. This program utilizes equine assisted psychotherapy, horse riding therapy, experiential, and somatic therapy, transpersonal therapy, DBT, and CBT. This unique combination is considered crucial to all the other work done at this facility. Helplessness to Health This program empowers the client with skills to reduce anxiety and perfectionism while honor both mind and body. This method allows resistance to dissolve so that self-esteem improves with time and personal work. This program focuses on eating disorders and helping the client learn to work positively with other beings starting with our equine staff. The Final Journey As a apart of the spiritual support and practice each client experiences a Final Soul Journey before they leave the program. Taking place in the gorgeous Colorado Rockies, each client will travel to the mountains for a period of spiritual ceremony, reflection, and soul journey featuring shamanic work that will bring their journey through the program to a close. 2

7 Equine Therapy Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is an emerging treatment modality that utilizes horse-handling activities to generate powerful therapeutic metaphors that reflect how each young woman relates to herself and others. With the support of peers and Gateways equine specialist and attending clinical therapist, women examine these metaphors to gain insight into their fears, habits, and unconscious ways of relating. As issues arise within the equine setting, students have en-vivo experience opportunities to work toward the understanding and healing of those issues. Therapeutic Horseback Riding is a form of physical and mental health therapy for people who have a range of disabilities including physical, emotional, cognitive, and social difficulties. Horses provide a tool for physical therapy, emotional growth, and cognitive improvement in a unique format that is fun, exhilarating, and sometimes has the power to change a person s perspective on life! Besides the physical benefits derived from therapeutic riding, the contact with the animal is a powerful experience, and the strong bond that is usually experienced has a profound, uplifting effect on people who are troubled or suffering. ANGER CHEMICAL AND ALCOHOL ABUSE EATING DISORDERS TRAUMA POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER HEAD INJURY EXTENDED GRIEF ANXIETY ATTACKS AND PHOBIAS Because the gait of a horse when walking is a gentle, repetitive movement, it moves the rider s body in a way that is very similar to the human gait; riders, as well as the mental health aspects of riding, often achieve greater flexibility, muscle strength, and balance. This type of therapy can improve balance, posture, mobility, reactive time, as well as improve problems such as emotional, cognitive, behavioral, communicative, and social malfunction. Many riders, both able-bodied and those with challenges to overcome, form a strong connection to the horse that they cannot get from most sports. For individuals with emotional problems, the unique relationship that is formed with the horse can result in increased confidence, self-esteem, and patience. The sense of wonder and independence that is experienced while riding on a horse is universally beneficial. 4

A sober companinion provides one-on-one assistance to newly recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. This program helps clients (even from other facilities) in the early stages of recovery.

Sober Companions help support the newly-recovered in the community, at their home, at family and other events, as well as helping them continue their treatment by (in some cases) helping them get to and from treatment.
