Oh Byz, you made me laugh, I can totally relate to your sentiment
with the therapist. You are a chuckle.

Thank you for sharing madisgram. You know I have used that type of method for years with my students. I had no idea that there was an actual therapy with that name. My teaching methods were always a one on one with the child as I would work on each of their weak areas in a very similar cognitive way. My only difference it that they had no idea what I was doing with them, only that they couldn't seem to learn riding anywhere else. Some of these children were rejected from other riding programs and I found them more of a challenge. Many of them still ride and do well with horses where other trainers gave them no hope. I have also used a similar method in working with abused ponies and horses and even just in training in general.

I can totally relate to that childs response to the teacher, out of the mouths of babes is so true in so many ways. That is why I love what I do.

Thanks for the thread madisgram. I am glad that whatever it took you are a wonderful new you now. As I have read the little here, I do agree it is a very healthy way of thinking. But I also think that it is necessary to understand how you evolved to the poor thinking process or even
some depressive behavior patterns as well as agressive patterns.
