ABSTRACT
The 7 C's of Well-Being are compassion, calm, courage, creativity, clarity, congruence, and connection. The 7 C's of Well-Being came primarily out of work and training in internal family systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Laurel Parnell's Resource Tapping. Tapping is a powerful process and although it is not EMDR therapy, the process can activate traumatic memories. Tapping is designed to help create supportive resources and experiences, but is not a substitute for psychotherapy. Focusing on and tapping into the positive experiences and feelings that the client can have while working with horses, allows them to activate a natural healing system. The client will go into the paddock/arena/round pen depending on what is available and what the client is comfortable with, and approach, halter, and lead the horse back to the therapist or team.
