Equine Gestalt Coaching - What is it?
Equine Gestalt Coaching - What is it?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by emotions such as powerlessness, grief, anger, jealousy, unworthiness, or hopelessness? These feelings are a natural part of the human experience, but we don’t have to remain trapped in their lower-vibrational energy. When our bodies cling to these emotions, they can create unresolved issues and limiting beliefs that impact our present lives.
Have you found yourself triggered by certain situations without understanding why? The Gestalt process provides an opportunity to confront unresolved matters and unlock your true potential in the present moment. It shines a light on what lies within your subconscious, enabling you to release the energy that holds you back from living fully and authentically.
Gestalt promotes a sense of wholeness. As individuals navigate their unresolved experiences, they gain self-awareness, fostering personal responsibility and creating space for a life filled with self-compassion, fulfillment, and joy.
How can horses help?
Horses inhabit a realm of energetic vibration, experiencing life without the overthinking that affects humans. They are fully present in each moment, embracing reality as it is. Their keen awareness allows them to perceive the ways we may consciously or unconsciously sidestep our own truths. As equine coaching partners, they provide one of the most profound gifts: the ability to be fully present with someone’s true being.
The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method™
The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method™ was developed by Melisa Pearce, a core founder since 1989 of the horse-human healing movement.
The experiential nature of the method involves the horse as an active partner with the coach in the client’s exploratory process. The integrative approach of the equine’s interaction combined with positive coaching, somatic awareness guidance and Gestalt methodology, assists the client in examining their life and choices made with a focus on designing a positive future.
