How First Responders Can Heal from Trauma (and Save Their Marriages)

In this powerful and emotional episode of The Backyard Horse Enthusiast, we meet Lea Dibrell, a Certified Equine Gestalt Practitioner and founder of Crooked Tree Journeys in Wimberley, Texas. Lea's mission is deeply personal-she's not only a practitioner but also the wife of a career firefighter. She intimately understands the unique pressures that first responders and their families face.
Lea opens up about the emotional toll of supporting a loved one in a high-stress service career and shares her journey of finding balance amidst the chaos. From the loneliness and overwhelm to the disruptions in family life, Lea's story is one of resilience, compassion, and hope.
Through her work at Crooked Tree Journeys, Lea uses the healing power of horses to help first responders and their families heal from past wounds, create healthy relationships, and achieve personal and family goals. As the Director of the Hope Held by a Horse - Texas Chapter, she also extends her support to cancer survivors, offering them transformative equine-assisted therapy.
Don't miss this heartfelt conversation where we explore the ways Lea is making a difference in the lives of those who serve and their families. Whether you're a first responder, a family member, or someone looking for healing, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.

I had a session with Lea, and I truly believe that the trauma I released during the session, helped me handle an unexpected situation with more ease and grace. This is truly a beautiful healing tool.
