ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if healing could begin with simply slowing down, breathing deeply, and spending time in nature? 🐴✨
In this episode, equine therapist Jacqui shares insights on the healing power of horses, nervous system regulation, anxiety, trauma recovery, and the deep wisdom animals can offer us. Jacqui created her own model of equine assisted psychotherapy called The Icarus Model. She's been working with horses since 1999 and counseling children and young adults in Arizona since 2011, with certifications spanning clinical hypnosis, somatic experiencing, yoga, and multiple equine-specific modalities.
We talk about:
• Equine-assisted therapy and emotional healing
• Why anxiety isn’t something to “get rid of”
• Nervous system regulation and safety
• The importance of choice, boundaries, and self-awareness
• How horses mirror what we’re feeling
