Rosie Withey - Emotional Wellbeing Coaching

Since retiring from my employed job I have had the space to reflect on what I offer to my own clients and one of the things I really love is working with people and their own horses. EFL is a wonderful way to learn how to be more authentic in the relationships with the humans in your life but also in your relationship with your horse.

Horses are highly sensitive to the slightest change in the emotions of the others in their herd, which means they can sense inconsistency between our feelings and our actions and help us to recognise when we are not being true to ourselves.

Simple, mindful interactions with them and sometimes even just being in their presence can bring buried patterns of belief and behaviour into conscious awareness. Then we can bring ourselves into balance on all levels of mind, body, emotion and spirit, reconnect with our natural desire to play and explore, let go of our mental chatter and flow with our emotions

If you would like to discuss this possibility please get in touch - [email protected]

"Somehow by acknowledging my vulnerabilities and using the messages from my body along with my connection with the horses, I have been able to locate and experience uncomfortable feelings and allow them to be released. In so doing I now feel more alive, more congruent with my true self and more confident both in my professional and personal life."

This testimonial is from Helen and she is referring to the Connect with your Authentic Self Workshop that she attended some years ago.

If you are interested in joining my ‘Connect with your Authentic Self’ in the Autumn, please do get in touch. If I have enough interest, I will explore the opportunity for this to take place in November at Trealy Farm, Monmouth.

ARTICLE RECOMMENDATION - The Power of Self-Permission

"I believe—based on my personal insights—that we often neglect to give ourselves permission. Instead, we frequently operate out of a sense of obligation rather than genuine self-permission. In essence, we tend to impose self-shoulds on ourselves 98% of the time."

“The most important relationship we can all have is the one you have with yourself, the most important journey you can take is the one of self-discovery.

To know yourself you must spend time with yourself, you must not be afraid to be alone.
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

Aristotle

“I have discovered what makes my heart sing, I have rediscovered my confidence and I’ve reconnected with myself.”

Wellbeing coaching creates the space for you to discover the joy of being your true self. You gain clarity and direction and learn how to develop trust in relationships, improve confidence and self-esteem and see a greater perspective of what’s possible.

Congruence is key to our emotional wellbeing. How you feel on the inside needs to match how you present on the outside. When this is in balance, you can make authentic choices and live a happier, more peaceful life.

During my Eponaquest group meeting recently I had a visualisation that brought me to a realisation about myself. In the visualisation I found myself on the outside of a secret walled garden that I couldn’t find a way into. The group facilitator then asked, “what do you want?” and at that moment I realised that, even though I now have the space and freedom to do the things I want to do since retiring from my job, there is still something blocking me and that thing is permission. Permission for what, you may be inclined to ask!

I realised that I have been waiting for permission to receive.

What do I mean by this? I explain all in my latest blog, Allow Yourself Permission to Receive which you can read in full here https://rosiewithey.co.uk/allow-yourself-permission-to-receive/

The CONNECT workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to build a deeper relationship with themselves and spend time in the presence of horses, whether you’re an animal lover and new to horses, or have past or present experience with horses. It's a space to learn how to connect to your true self in a safe environment where the horses help you to integrate your learning through observation, before we progress to reflective and active interactions.

If you are interested in attending this workshop please send me an email to let me know. If there is enough interest I have the option to run one in November!

Authenticity in Relationships: Showing Up as Your True Self by Cynthia Schwartzberg

Here is a snippet:

".....relationships, like seasons, go through their own cycle. Sometimes we are in full blossom, present, connected, and engaged And, then there are those cold rainy days when we withdraw and hunkered down.

Let’s get curious about the differences and see how bringing more authenticity can transform our connections from good to extraordinary. To start, ask yourself:

Are you tired of surface-level conversations with your partner or others?
Do you sometimes feel unseen or misunderstood, even by those who are supposed to know you well?

If you want to improve your relationships, do you spend more time on self-reflection or do you spend more time in relationship with the other? Of course, the answer is both, and!

The more important questions to ask yourself are “Who am I in relationships?” and “Who would I like to be in relationships?”. This gives you a focus for self-reflection, and for the curiosity of your relationship with others and the environment around you.

For me, this journey began when I was introduced to the idea of self-reflection and I do think it’s important to have some guidelines around the way in which you self-reflect! I first learned to reflect on myself in my training to become a riding coach. The journey deepened as I studied as a life coach and hypnotherapist and matured through my training in equine facilitated learning.

My greatest revelation was that of distinguishing between the various ways in which I could ‘speak to’ myself, which mostly boiled down to that of my ‘conditioned’ self or that or my ‘authentic’ self (in all their various guises). It was very exciting to learn that I had a choice about how I spoke to myself.

For example, I realised that I didn’t have to stay in the pattern of ‘pushing myself to achieve more’, that I could be kinder to myself and ‘allow myself to take time out to rest and reflect on my achievements’.
I can’t remember beating myself up because I’d previously been hard on myself, I was simply grateful to have more access to the choice to be kinder to myself.

However, honouring this awareness in my relationship with others and the environment was a bit more challenging. When I began to realise that I had, at times, treated others in ways which were unkind (in the same way in which I had treated myself) I felt guilt and shame. I also felt a sense of sadness at the years I’d not had access to this new way of being. It has taken time to work through these emotions and to recognise that this awareness has not only benefited my relationship with myself, but also my relationship with others.

Would you like to explore how you are in relationships with others so you can improve them and feel more fulfilled by them? If so, perhaps my coaching style would help you through this. Please do get in touch if you would like to chat about this.
