Emotions - the following contents are a requirement and necessary for you to watch before you attend the Module 2 training, as I will refer to this information in the training and count on you knowing the contents.

When you start practicing, your self-awareness and knowledge about your own emotions play a crucial role in how you move through Module 2 - and in the end, how you provide services and sessions in pEATT.

Though we all have emotions, science is definitively not agreeing on what they are, what they are for, how the affect us and so on. Researchers do not agree on where they come from, and how much we share them with other non-human beings. There are even controversial and contradicting opinions on whether or how much we share emotions with other human cultures. How universal and/or how individual/subjective are they?

One thing we think most practitioners agree on is that they are very important. And to understand your own emotions as well as the emotions of others, is an important part of our social and relational life.



As providers of equine assisted interventions, it is crucial that you know your own emotional reactions and are aware of your own emotional so-called "regulation" - how you cope with emotions and typically respond in emotional situations.

In the following videos, Ally is my speaking partner again as we look at the topic of emotions and what science says about them. Be aware - there are many contradictions!

Disclaimer: Due to the cooperation between Minds-n-Motion and MiMer Centre, there were times when Module 2 was offered together. The videos were recorded at a time when we thought of this as the ONLY option. Since then, we realized that the contents of our trainings, despite many similarities, better suit YOUR needs by being separate. So please do not be confused when you hear us referencing conjoint trainings. To gain your pEATT certification, a special pEATT Module 2 training is being offered according to the guidelines set by my licensing board. Ally offers part of these recordings in her newly designed trainings and we had the agreement that you can get credit for having taken/watched them here.
