Equine therapy — which Anthony Weiner participated in at a Meadows-style facility called Recovery Ranch in Nunnelly, Tenn. — encourages sex addicts, many of whom may be emotionally calloused from their desires to deceive loved ones, to rediscover how it feels to take care of another living being.
“You go into a big arena and there are horses,” said the source. “Ten of us spent 20 or 30 minutes walking around and interacting with the horses. We got a sense of their personalities and talked about it when we got back. You talked about how the horses responded to you and then tied it back to your life, to how you interact with people at work and with family members.”
“Celebrities do not cruise the Internet, searching for where to go for rehab,” Schrank said. “They get advice from their people. The Meadows is respected, in part, because it has groundbreaking doctors like Patrick Carnes [the founder of Gentle Path who is said to have coined the term ‘sex addict’] and markets to individual therapists in high-income Zip codes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they market to agents and managers as well. This is a business, just like booking conventions into hotels. They bring you out to see the facility and to meet the clinical staff. Plus, they do a good job and there is a limited number of places that treat sex addiction.”
Still, some experts say that celebrity offenders don’t always show up to rehab for the sincerest of reasons. “A lot of these people go in because it’s something for their publicists to say [as public retribution],” said Schrank. “However, they can actually gain insight from the clinical process if they are open to it.”

WHY are they in rehab and not prison? I guess Mr. Huma went to jail a week or so ago, but what about the others?
I hope someone is keeping an eye on them and making sure they don’t “interact” with the horses too much
“I guess Mr. Huma went to jail a week or so ago, but what about the others?”
Neigh.
“So, how did your horse face-time go?”
“What? I’m not John Kerry!”
“No, I didn’t mean horse-face. I meant
how did your face time go with the horses?”
“Oh, okay. I thought that Appaloosa mare
would be a good cuddle on a cold night.”
“This is sex-addition rehab, not equine
speed dating!”
“Oh, sorry. This is harder than I thought.”
“Our program is built on good intentions.”
“Yeah, I experienced some of the intentions.”
“What do you mean?”
“While I was with the horses, I stepped
into a big pile of good intentions.”
“I hate this job.”
SO I guess “Sex Addict” is the PC term for sexual pervert, pederast, and rapist now?/S
Important people are above the law. But they want you to feel that they are being “paying the price” for their transgressions.
It was rumored that Catherine the great died from an equestrian accident. It would be a shame if something similar happened to Weiner.
This is no different than some rich family sending their drunk and druggie kids to a country club nuthouse so they can keep them out of jail.
Honestly, I would NOT trust any of them around animals.
Seriously.
There’s always ferroequine therapy.
“SO I guess “Sex Addict” is the PC term for sexual pervert, pederast, and rapist now?/S”
Only if you are one of the keepers of the human race.
Seriously, why not shock collars? While it doesn’t go the full Clockwork Orange treatment, imagine the therapeutic benefit of giving sex offender victims the remote control.
I think sex addiction is real. However, it’s harder to be sympathetic towards sex addicts because the initial behaviors — cheating on their wives, watching porn, going to strip joints — were per se immoral, whereas having a beer or a glass of wine isn’t. However, I suppose being judgmental is unchristian. In any case, if therapy and medication can help people control their sexual behavior, I think those are good things. They are not replacements for religion and moral behavior, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t valuable.
I’m interested in hearing that there actually is an occupation now called “sobriety coach.” (In last few paragraphs.)8
Sub human pervert pigs who feel entitled and more equal than others.
