One of the most valuable things we can do in any form of therapy is break the pain cycle.
The brain focuses on pain. If I smash your thumb with a hammer you won’t be able to tell me much about your knee. You’re focused on your thumb.
Once the brain focuses on the pain, the nervous system starts making changes to avoid the pain and compensate for it.
Compensation patterns cause imbalance in the entire body, and reinforce changes in the brain.
And so the cycle goes over and over and over and over.
ANYTHING that breaks the pain cycle is valuable.
Most professionals got into the horse world to help horses.
There are so many way to get to the final destination, 100 ways to skin a cat.
Each person has different experiences, knowledge, and ideas than anyone else. Yours matter.
If you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or doubt yourself, just start by breaking the pain cycle.
If you’re giving your best to horses, you’re helping horses. Don’t stop. 🖤
