This is one of several areas of special interest to me as a practitioner.

Not every riding scare, fall, or injury becomes a problem for future riding success. But when one does, the signs are clear: loss of confidence, loss of focus, pounding heart, shortness of breath, excess tension, inability to follow coaching instructions.

A tense rider leads to a tense horse, and apprehension becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.There are many things that can damage a rider’s confidence, and when restoration of that confidence is slow, EFT may be of great help.

Research has revealed the brain-science of how and why we can get so completely stuck in fear symptoms – symptoms that persist despite every traditional fear-reduction and confidence-building thing we throw at the problem. To read about the all-important discharge response, what happens in the brain when it’s missing, and how EFT can help, please see the Articles Page.
