About
Catherine Anne Held, PhD, never got the horse she wanted as a young girl in Ohio. Horses have, however, accompanied her through her life transitions in dreams, artwork, and visionary experiences. Dr. Held received her doctorate in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2006. Her dissertation is entitled, Horse Girl: An Archetypal Study of Women, Horses, and Trauma Healing, where she investigated the relationship between women and horses in history, culture, mythology, and psychology.
