2 Question 1 Equestrian-assisted therapy, which Kohanov uses in her practice, entails using horses to help with the healing process (Sheade, 2020). She believes spending time with horses may be a therapeutic experience that can help individuals connect with their emotions and inner selves. Kohanov uses a variety of grooming, leading, and riding exercises with the horses to help customers explore their emotions and grow as individuals. Question 2 Kohanov characterizes the link between a person and a horse as emotional resonance. This relationship has the potential to be quite powerful and beneficial in terms of aiding emotional access and processing. Kohanov uses the term "emotional congruity" to describe when a person's emotional state matches the horse's. When a person and a horse have comparable emotions, they may be able to work together more successfully. Question 3 Some DSM-5 ailments that may benefit from equine-assisted therapy are anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma and stress-related diseases, and personality disorders. Horses have been demonstrated to be useful in treating mood and anxiety disorders (Sheade, 2020). Horses may provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Individuals with personality disorders may benefit from equine-assisted therapy because it may help them build social skills and regulate negative emotions.

3 Question 4 Equine-assisted therapy may develop clients' capacity for self-awareness and introspection by having them participate in various activities and exercises with horses (Sheade, 2020). Anxious customers, for example, may find that partaking in an activity like horse grooming helps them concentrate on the here and now, reducing their concerns. Activities like directing horses through obstacle courses may aid traumatized individuals because it offers them a sense of control and helps them connect with the animals. Clinicians may use equine-assisted therapy to help their patients acquire emotional fortitude and improve their quality of life. Question 5 According to Kohanov, cognitive-behavioral therapy and other traditional approaches to mental health treatment have limitations. It has been proposed that in traditional therapy, cognitive processes may be emphasized above emotional and physical rehabilitation components (Sheade, 2020). Equine-assisted therapy, on the other hand, promotes a more comprehensive approach to healing by promoting the client's awareness of and responsiveness to his or her own emotions and physical sensations. Horses are also nonjudgmental, allowing individuals to do so in a safe and welcoming environment. Question 6 Using the term "sympathetic vibrations," Kohanov discusses the energetic relationship that might establish between a person and a horse. She believes that spending time with horses can teach people a lot about themselves and their emotions since horses have an intrinsic ability to sense and respond to human emotions. When a person's emotions are in sync with a horse's,
