The NLP Approach to Confident Riding

Being enthusiastic, with a deep love for all things equestrian is a wonderful feeling to have.  Some people have more personal resources to succeed in their chosen area than others.  At Quest for Success we believe that everyone has the potential to be the best that they can possibly be, so we are dedicated to helping you realise your full potential. 

 

Some riders, handlers and teachers worry more than others, they may lack confidence or motivation , maybe they have phobias and habits that they need to overcome when working around horses.  Some will have problems communicating, particularly when learning to teach complex processes, or perhaps they find it difficult to control their emotional state in pressure situations.

 

At Quest for Success, we offer an exciting and transformational programme, The NLP Approach to Confident Riding, based on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Time Line Therapy^TM, blended to create bespoke interventions for each client. 

 

So, what’s it all about?

 

Neuro-Linguistic Programming began 30 years ago, as a model of how we communicate to ourselves and others and how that communication creates and affects our behaviour.  It was originally developed by Richard Bandler, John Grinder and others.  The model explains how we process the information that comes into us from the outside and the programmes we run inside our heads which produce our behaviour.  The internal representation we make about an event combines with our physiology and creates an internal emotional state.  By using the language of the mind, emotional states can be chosen and controlled and specific and desired outcomes achieved.

 

Time Line Therapy^TM , created by Dr. Tad James, has been around for the last 21 years.  The techniques are a process of active imagination where the client imagines floating above their time line and let go of the negative emotions and limiting decisions which are held there.  By removing the negativity, it is possible to achieve a history with only positive emotion, empowering decisions and preserved learnings.  The therapy is not regression therapy, it has no content and stays dissociated from traumatic events.  It is a particularly useful technique for dealing with stress, fear and anxiety.

 

It sounds complex, but it’s actually very easy and the interventions and results are relatively rapid when compared to the more traditional counselling methods.  All the client needs to do is relax and follow their desire to change!

• Conquer phobias, like that rider frightening fence

I have the flexibility to see clients at most times of day, either at their riding school if appropriate facilities exist, or at my home based practice in Shaw.  I am also able to chat to you in more detail about the life changing benefits of The NLP Approach to Confident Riding and NLP and Time Line Therapy^TM in general.    

 

As a fellow Equestrian, I have witnessed the benefits I describe first hand.  I no longer compete, as my  thoroughbred gelding is 23 and happy to spend his days taking wonderful hacks across the moors, however, during my competitive days, if I had known then what I know now, there would be many more trophies in my cabinet!
