Welcome to
Equid-Nexus, LLC
Equid-Nexus™ is an Equine Engaged Parts Work Psychotherapy model and Training Program that is based upon Internal Family Systems (IFS) and IFS informed EMDR.
The model's focus is on healing relational trauma by building relational consciousness (both internally from Self-to-part and externally from Self-to-horse) to help people heal their relational trauma burdens in real time, within a real relationship with the horse.
A person heals through identifying what parts of themselves are holding emotional pain from past attachment ruptures. When these parts are identified the person can then work to release the pain by increasing their internal relationship with their Core Self, and by changing their interpersonal patterns to have a corrective experience by building a connected relationship with their equine partner.

Meet The Herd
There are 9 therapy horses at Whispering White Horse Stables. Each horse is uniquely gifted to add their own value to the program.
It is important that these horses are known for who they are, instead of what they may represent by projection or transference.
