RIDING/EQUESTRIAN with HYPNOTHERAPY & NLP

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by nerves before going to a show, or convinced you will forget your dressage test?

Many people become so nervous before a show or a test that they can feel physically ill, not sleep before a show, or manifest negative emotional behaviour e.g. bad temper, being unable to eat etc., often with the result of performing well below their capability or affecting the performance or behaviour of their horse in a negative way. This then sets up a negative cycle of experiences which is very hard to break.

Coming from a horsey background myself, I have found that hypnotherapy can help to eliminate nerves and anxiety in these situations, together with NLP which will reframe the old, unwanted patterns of behaviour, many which have built up and lasted over many years, to a new, positive outcome which will restore enjoyment to your equestrian activities and also have a beneficial knock on effect for the horse, who will then become far more relaxed and happy.

LOSS OF NERVE

The most obvious times that one hears of people losing their nerve and being unable to get on a horse, or being unable to do so without feeling terrified is when someone has been involved in an accident or has had a bad fall.   These situations often do produce ongoing feelings of fear and loss of nerve.  I have also found that many people, often those who have ridden quite happily all their lives can suddenly become fearful without there having been an obvious catalyst.

Fortunately, both these areas of worry are usually easily dealt with  using Hypnotherapy and NLP and people can be happily restored to enjoying their riding in the same way as they did before the accident/incident/advancing years.

Often only one or two sessions are all that are needed although this would need to be confirmed at consultation.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCING

If you would like to make a change in the technique of your riding, i.e. does your instructor constantly tell you to keep your hands up/down/give before a jump/don't give so much before a jump?  Or do you know precisely when your left leg should be applied but somehow, the message just doesn't get through to the offending limb no matter how hard you try?

 Hypnotherapy and NLP can help you to re-programme your brain to work with you instead of against you to produce a fluid style without the pain and hard work!

Cut out the hard work and let hypnotherapy help you change your life (and your horses'!)
