In this session, the client explores her confidence and how it sometimes swings into fear that then lowers her confidence to speak up. The client recognizes she is often “not the most loud person in the room (at work)” and is okay with that. Yet how to “get the confidence to talk more freely about myself, about what I can do and get into that communication flow.” The client recalls her experiences of learning to work with a horse, which supports her to examine her way of building her confidence.

This is a very relatable topic; ruminating in our mind on something that is still bothering us and keeps us awake during the night thinking about it. This “voice inside” was explored that is often called the “inner critic” and the client refers to as a voice that “keeps on hunting me down.” The client is wearing a black heart necklace and I inquire into the meaning of it for the client and she says “a black (heart) is beautiful too.” This is an example of “entering the client world” and trusting there might be further information for the client to glean that is relevant to her.

In this session, the client explores how to break a cycle of becoming “derailed.“ This expands into a metaphor of a train, including exploring different aspects of the client and her life such as the role of self as conductor. This is all in service of the client exploring habits, strengths and finding humor, balance and perspective in a time of unusual uncertainty (aka the Pandemic).
