I love the determination on Sarabi's face. Tex is trying to connect with her and she is fully aware of him and that fence she is balancing on. Clients will sometimes ask, can I stay connected in a relationship, while trying to keep myself safe? My response is usually, yes you can! When working on connection we are asked to be authentic and practice being vulnerable. Sometimes it doesn't feel safe to be either of those. Both Sarabi & Tex are present in the moment, keeping themselves safe and working on connection. Here at Open Reins, we practice modeling ourselves after the wonderful animals. They show us how to practice mindfulness, connection & self-care!
Have a wonderful day & call us if you'd like to practice these wonderful skills!
