MBC?
---It's 'The Mind Body Connection'
When
the Program ‘study’ is emphasized, and we work
toward a particular objective, --we find that the
client/student pays closer attention to what they
are expected to do.
They are usually surprised that we care
--they get the details, -and --understand them.
by not rushing through, --taking the ‘necessary’
time to understand, clients exhibit even deeper
interest, at the puzzle presented to them.
We
'slow' them, --one more peg, to pay ‘mind’ to
what their ‘hands’ are doing, -while the mind,
hands, the eyes, and body language, and 'our
'feelings' --are all performing what seems to be
---their ‘Own’ tasks.
Humans
often function, --like ‘wound-tight’ steel,
--springing back to its familiar --nest of
confusion.
Slow
the client a third peg, and they look at their
complexities, ---one at a time.
The
real work begins, --taking control over any
un-wanted or un-desirable behavior, -and we do
this in fractions.
Untangling
a web of emotional turmoil (steel-wool), without
doing damage, --is a very delicate process, being
careful not to snap or break ‘anything’,
--especially the very fragile memory, that could
become volumes of stored hurts, and pain.
as
we go along, -We aim to encourage a ‘search’
for details..
We
work at --asking the ‘right’ questions, to
gently guide a client through the maze of
memories, -being careful to stop them, or give a
detour, when they approach a too delicate 'place'
or dead end, that could be terribly frightening
for them. Distraction
is now strategy.
As
the client walks, -through, and to --a ‘place’
you know will ‘stop’ them, ---we can gently
prepare them for what might be ahead, giving
continued support, as they near the questionable
area.
‘Reading’
people, is an art learned from the ‘Soft Touch’
horsemanship -portion of the Program. the horse
will represent a personality, or a challenge that
must be met or conquered.
The
MBC Program, --is not for inexperienced
persons to coach, however, -knowing pain, and
getting through the forest, learning your own
lessons well, (by experience) may be more
valuable, to someone who can ’feel’ -that you
understand. Been
there, --done that, is worth many
degrees. often --what has been 'book'
learned, ---must be ‘ditched’ –to ‘listen
to your gut feelings, and--your ‘heart’.
simply
–close the book, --and learn to 'feel' and
'listen.
MBC looks at a ‘page’ in one’s life,
--as ‘they’ --open it to us.
knowing what is at hand, -as discussed with the
client, --will gain their trust, with a shared
direction, while giving the client the power, of
making small decisions, and --setting their 'own'
goals.
It
is very important that the client is informed that
STQH/MBC offers ‘Strategy
oriented’ programs. This will
give the coach a wider range for experimentation,
without telling the client, exactly, --what you
are trying to do ‘for’ them. This is
again, a delicate line to walk, to keep client
trust & faith.
Experienced coaches recognize
more than a client wants known.
<><><><><><><><><>
STQH/MBC form a very powerful
team, --especially when working in adjunct with
Mental Health & Delinquency agencies.
clients love, --that you are not a ‘professional’
in 'their' eyes, --after ALL, --you just teach
riding!
When
clients 'catch on' to your 'strategy' -and what
THEY ARE 'REALLY' GAINING --FROM THE
PROGRAM, --you just share a smile.
The beauty of MBC, -is that the
details of painful situations do ‘not’ need to
be discussed.
We SIMPLY mention body language, and guide
them towards wanting to know –‘why’ –they
do this or that, or –‘WHERE DID THAT BEHAVIOR
COME FROM’? Perhaps --it reminds you of
someone else's 'issues'...
The
seeds are sown early on, and can take time to
germinate.
There is usually, --a waiting
time.
There
is, --a time to be concerned about the outcomes,
and,
There
is, --a time for the client --to see their
accomplishments.
Like
new grass, -growing beneath the clients feet.
Hope
must be realized, then felt. Then, it starts
growing!
As
the colors turn from 'gray' --to green, --joy is
experienced, faith builds, and the fields are no
longer too big, --to cross.
Progress
actually becomes addictive!
It's good to
continue to support clients, -keeping them on
fertile ground.
