Nothing Special

“Nothing Special beautifully captures the essence of Leia’s human need to socially interact, to be heard, to be seen, and to be understood. Dr. Hughey intertwines real life experiences with recommendations for the field that call for existential sensitivity, respect, and timely interventions outside of the context of traditional talk therapy methods. For Leia, horse and human connection initiated a deep-seated, soul-healing process that restored her relationship with ‘self,’ ‘other,’ and God.”
