EMDRIA DEFINITION OF EMDR
&
! The eight-phase, three-pronged process of EMDR facilitates
the resumption of normal information processing and
integration.
! The AIP model provides the framework through which the
eight phases and three prongs (past, present, and future) of
EMDR are understood and implemented.
! Current research emphasizes the importance of maintaining
fidelity to EMDR's eight-phased approach. Nevertheless, in
doing so, EMDR "may be implemented in more than one way
as long as the broad goals of each phase are
achieved" (www.emdria.org).

ON HORSEMANSHIP
! “The horse is a great
equalizer. He doesn't care
how good looking you are,
or how rich you are, or
how powerful you are. He
takes you for how you
make him feel.” – Buck
Brannaman”
! “Your horse is a mirror to
your soul, and sometimes
you may not like what you
see. Sometimes, you will.”
- Buck Brannaman ”
! “You are not working on
the horse; you are working
on yourself” - Ray Hunt

! Hippotherapy currently for clients with special needs as well
as for speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical

THE ANIMAL-HUMAN BOND
! Polyvagal Theory & Social engagement system: Associated with attachment
- reactions to stress including as the infant engages in attachment seeking
behaviors - release of Oxytocin.
! Oxytocin: The "feel good" neurotransmitter of connection. Higher levels
associated with nurturing & social engagement. "Protective in
nature” (Bessel van der Kolk, 2007)
! Increase in Oxytocin = Decrease in Cortisol
! The activation of the oxytocin releasing system in the horse/human
relationship and relationships with other animals (Odenaal, 2000;
Odendaal & Meintjes, 2003; Handlin et al., 2011)
! Equine Facilitated Therapy reduces cortisol: Current study of
adolescents engaging in weekly 90 minute EFP sessions = a decrease
in salivary cortisol levels post session compared to basal levels

EQUILATERAL OVERVIEW
! That Equine-Assisted EMDR is still EMDR. We are in line with
standard EMDR protocol in its eight phased approach
! In arena Equine Assisted EMDR sessions
! In office Equine Assisted EMDR – Think holistically - You
are also “bringing them” i.e. the experiences with them into
the EMDR session, in office, regularly and with specific
intention.
! The EquiLateral Protocol truly places great emphasis on
knowing EMDR especially the how’s and why’s in each phase.
! The horse is seen as a sentient being & co-therapist and
brought into the eight phases of EMDR.

EQUILATERAL OVERVIEW
! This is NOT about training folks in EMDR or EAP but rather the
INTEGRATION of these approaches to become Equine-Assisted EMDR
EMDRIA APPROVED TRAINING 15 EMDRIA CREDITS
! That the “EA” (Equine Assisted) part of Equine Assisted EMDR is an all
inclusive model, that supports Equine Therapy Providers from a multitude
of approaches Ex: EAGALA, EFMHA, EPONA, OK-CORRAL etc. re: Ground
Based etc.
! The equine assisted/facilitated experiences are seen within the framework
of EMDR – specifically the phase and the intention of that phase. Therefore
it is paramount that the provider really know EMDR through and through.
! Dually Trained EMDRT/EP or EMDRT partnering with EP (depends on your
EAP/EFP model)
! The EquiLateral™ protocol is based on anecdotal evidence and there is
currently no formal research. Anyone who wishes to practice the methods,
protocols or ideas listed herein is also assumed to be qualified
practitioners within their specified area of expertise.
