OUR VISION

Group Therapy - Relational, Intentional, Experiential & Developmental.

Group therapy is a vital part of Sedona Sky’s therapeutic program, teaching important principles that are needed across the community. The sessions take a variety of forms, in different settings.

Equine Therapy

Following the EAGALA model, we focus on learning to communicate and work together as a group unit and on partnership and awareness of others. Equine therapy does not require any horsemanship skills, and is ground-based, with no riding involved. Horses offer a safe space for reflection and help mirror non-judgement and unconditional love. This gives our students the opportunity to practice the skills that are core to maintaining healthy relationships, such as emotional awareness, communication, trust, authenticity and congruence, setting boundaries, and emotional regulation.In the group setting, students have the opportunity to give and receive support from their peers which is a healing part of their growth process.

SMART Recovery

In this group session, we use the established SMART recovery method in which group members learn tools and techniques to manage emotions and behaviors. Girls collaborate with each other to help their peers solve difficulties related to addictive behaviors that many people turn to for instant gratification when needing to feel better about a challenge in their lives. SMART helps students to see that while the behaviors that make them feel good right away may seem like a helpful solution to their feelings in the short term, they are behaviors that in the long term can keep them stuck in unhealthy thought patterns that are likely to hold them back. SMART teaches students how to look at the choices they have in front of them and see which choices would be more beneficial for them to develop a healthy mindset and healthier habits to accomplish their long-term goals in life.

Theraplay

This group helps students focus on the pursuits of the Theraplay method which they are working on in their individual plans. Students practice the skills needed for them to master the pursuit they are on, in a lighter environment, allowing them to have fun in the process. Theraplay gives many ideas for activities that can be done in the group that focus on various challenges for the pursuits of Structure, Nurture, Engagement and Challenge. The theory behind this is that the accomplishment of all of these pursuits in a person’s life can help them to be more successful in their relationships with others, their performance in school, their self-confidence and their self-esteem, all of which are very important to a person’s growth.
