Here, the psychotherapist tries to unravel the cause using her experience in trauma treatment and solution orientated therapy and alleviate possible blocks to successful performance. And if that sounds a little heavy - to be honest it's not. There is an easy, relaxed approach, a quick tour of the brain and other mindful things that prove problematic to riders (and other sportsmen) so you can learn to manage stress, understand what holds you back - and away you go! -- Wendy Parsons * The Essex Rider *
