Heart, Mind & Soul Counselling

It's been a while, what with Covid... A young gentleman I've been working with off and on for a few months, decided to transition from talk to the equine sessions. We started work yesterday on some inner child work in relation to his father. All 4 horses took their turns to support this young man. ... Here's a picture from yesterday's session.

There's something relaxing and peaceful listening to Izzy eat.

Mantra's / affirmations Do you have one? Do you have a tape you play in your head when your struggling?... To start your day or end your day with? At this unprecedented time, we might all benefit from seeing / reading our positive mantra's / affirmations we have for our selves. Some of mine to get you going. "I let go of all that no longer serves me" "I choose to be happy and see the goodness in others" "I am resilient, strong and brave"

I'm spending time away from people but can't think of a better place to be right now.

another resource for parents during this tough time. https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com//learnathome.html

Here is link for people with children stuck at home right now. Thought it might be a good link for parents. http://stories.audible.com/discovery

If you're a parent, this is a great FB video conversation with Dr. Bruce Perry on how we support our children with information about the Coronavirus. Great points and tips for you, the parent, on how to talk about this unprecedented situation with your children.

What else is there to say.....

It's sooooo true. Everybody's journey is different too. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFM04xnDUo/

Beautiful warm Sunday. Client was asked to use her perception to note characteristics of each horse. Next she was asked to then pick out the different parts of her own character in each horse. She noted "...the horse wanting to be on its own, that's me. I hide away from people so I don't have to deal with them or get into situations that I feel hurt by them" ... "...that horse that is always invading my personal space, that's like me when I just start speaking to someone without noticing what they are doing, or whether that's a good time for them, plus I'm talking without context and they haven't got a clue what I'm talking about..." "The boy horse, that little one, I was scared of him, I'm little, he's little. He was unsure about me, which is what I'm like around males, I'm cautious. He reflected to me just how I am. He reminded me of my boss, I don't know how to speak or behave around her as I feel really insecure..." Great exercise today for client with lots of self awareness occurring. Good place for processing and deeper reflection.

On the first day of Spring last week, I woke up to an email telling the FEEL (Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) community of the passing of one of its founders, Wendy Golding. She had braved cancer, but sadly lost her battle with it. We have a FEEL Alumni Facebook page, where there are many tributes now written. Some of them tears are rolling down my cheeks as I'm reading. One person posted a link about Wild horses and their ritual when one of their herd dies. ... It got me thinking of grief and loss. I noted how paralised I felt, not knowing how to respond, what would be appropriate. With this in mind, I'm going to write a little something here on this page about grief and loss in the next day or two. Here is this beautiful story about the wild horses. https://www.horsetalk.co.nz//wild-horses-death-grief-ins/

Well this is apt, considering my previous post. This is a good reminder to all my clients that engage in their healing journey with me. It may feel like everything is falling apart, but it is oh so worth it in the end. I know, I've walked this path. :)

This.... Itll be 10 years this June since Ive been on my own! Where did 10 years go?? Holy moly. ... Im now grateful for the ending of that 22 year relationship, which ended up quite toxic. Its allowed for the messy personal rollercoaster of a journey of healing and transformation that has occurred during these past 10 years. Im so very happy Im not that person from 10 years ago anymore. I was unhealthy and didnt know it due to the wall of defenses I had up around me. None of us should ever stop learning and growing as people. Ive rediscovered my strengths and who I am. My purpose in life. You see my strength was attractive initially, but eventually it was made my weakness. I had hardened up and become quite defensive. I had been too sensitive apparently. I went on a few dates a year or so after the end of everything. But nothing since. I agree with this article, it will take someone pretty special to enter my life. Its not that Im not looking, or not wanting a partner, but more about not needing to have just anyone. Hes out there, somewhere!!! ( he needs to bloody well hurry up and get here please lol). Anyway, sorry for the ramblings. I felt compelled to write this this morning.

Love this . Healing oneself.... it takes time to make sense of oneself from the inside out! Given the right CONDITIONS and SUPPORT, the results... YOU grow and shine outwardly exponentially!!!

This..... you can not underestimate the pure emotional power these beautiful sentient beings can have on us humans! This is just beautiful to read, it made my eyes well-up (happy tears).

I would like to wish all my clients past and present, and everybody that follows me on this page, a very Happy New Year. May 2019 be a year of good health, wealth and happiness!!

Id like to wish all my clients present and past, and all the people that follow me here on Facebook, a very Merry Christmas. May 2019 be a healthy, happy and prosperous new year for all.

This.... does this sound familiar to your experiences, or are your children (age restrictions apply) going through similar experiences? For more information contact me!!

Think about this for a moment!! When youre frustrated, do you respond to people and situations the same?? So if you have trauma in your past, are you even aware of how this has impacted you?
