volunteering for trauma healing?

catalystcatalystMember
Despite the fact I can receive essentially free care from my insurance for the rest of the year...

I've opted for a break. I wanted to do equine therapy but I have limits on how I can get there, so I can't.

Has anyone found healing in volunteer work with animals? I was thinking it might be grounding... and even though not done by someone trained in therapy it could help somehow?

ideas? anything that has helped you?

Hi RT,

My cats have saved my life... both of them I brought in to my life at different times. Since I have been home from the hospital their support and entertainment has meant the world.

I really want to work with animals... even though it makes me sad too Frowner Frowner [and sorry about your ETC treatments, I'm sure those were very difficult!] but I have such an amazing heartfelt bond with them (animals) I can't see anything else my heart could go toward.

I also want to meet different people... I think it may help more of my healing than my adjunct therapy. I tried looking in to equine therapy, or even equine rehabilitation volunteer stuff and there just isn't any I can get to w/ my limited travel capabilities.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
