Teatime with Elsa - Episode 121

Chatting about: Enjoyment…

In this episode I talk about understanding the use of our senses in relation to states of enjoyment, learning, and overwhelm. I explain the ways that our senses gather information as well as the timing of when it’s enough information to make us feel alive and aware and enjoy what we’re experiencing, and when the senses start to gather too much information for too long and cause us to feel worse, leading to freeze, concern or overwhelm. We can learn to read how our horses are using their senses so we can predict if it’s going to get better, or if it’s going to get worse, and so we can create good associations to create intrinsic motivation.
