Imagine a world where horses are not just animals, but partners in healing. In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristen Sunanta-Walker chats with Mia Lykke Nielsen, a horse behaviourist who believes that the way we interact with horses can transform our mental health. Mia's journey began as a child, surrounded by horses but frustrated by traditional training methods. Her quest for a deeper connection led her to California, where she learned natural horsemanship among wild Icelandic horses.
Mia shares her unique approach to working with horses, focusing on the energy and state of mind of both the horse and the handler. She explains how horses mirror human emotions and why it's crucial to be calm and centred when interacting with them. Mia's method involves working with horses freely, without ropes or bits, emphasising trust and leadership. The conversation touches on the therapeutic benefits of horse interaction, highlighting how horses can help people understand their own emotions.
Mia also discusses the challenges of dealing with repressed anger and aggression, both in humans and horses. Her insights into the world of horse training are not only fascinating but also offer a new perspective on mental health. Kristen's enthusiasm for Mia's work is palpable, as she fangirls over her guest's innovative methods. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of animal behaviour and mental health.
You'll find yourself questioning how your own energy impacts those around you – human or horse. So, are you ready to explore the profound connection between humans and horses?
