Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Fairy Forest: Nature, Story & Horses in Child Psychotherapy | Krisztina Molnar of ÉletrevaLÓ Gyermekekért Alapítvány, Debrecen, Hungary | EAW 63
Q: What is the difference between fantasy or imagination and delusion?
Molnar says helpful fantasy supports personal growth and connection with oneself, other people, and the world. Delusion disconnects a person from their sense of self and real relationships.
The Fairy Forest: Nature, Story & Horses in Child Psychotherapy | Krisztina Molnar of ÉletrevaLÓ Gyermekekért Alapítvány, Debrecen, Hungary | EAW 63
Q: Why do you still work in the forest if there are dangers in that kind of natural environment?
Molnar believes environments that allow therapy to go deep bring both risks and opportunities. A therapist can use that depth while adapting the setting, with an arena or indoor space available to help clients feel safe.
Forget the Rulebook: A Kiwi Approach to Equine Assisted Learning | Nik Lewis | EAW 65
Q: How did you get involved in this and why? Let's start with you as a kid, take you to now.
Lewis grew up riding in rural New Zealand, later worked as a teacher aide and classroom teacher, and became interested in equine-assisted learning after experiencing burnout. After EAGALA training and an 18-month mentorship with a social worker, she left teaching in 2018 to build her program.
Forget the Rulebook: A Kiwi Approach to Equine Assisted Learning | Nik Lewis | EAW 65
Q: Can you elaborate on what's the difference between outcome-focused and client-focused?
Lewis says that, as she understands it, outcome-focused work sticks to a set activity curriculum regardless of how the client or horse arrives that day. Her approach adapts the session to their needs and state.
From Homelessness to Alternative Education Pioneer | Nicola Hepburn | EAW 60
Q: How do you create a non-traumatic, safe learning environment for learners who've experienced trauma in traditional education?
Nicola explains a trauma-informed, person-centered intake process, listening to individual needs, involving families, and providing flexible, environment-led approaches to minimize re-traumatization and rebuild trust.
