Authentic Self
AUTHENTIC SELF
​
The authentic self comes from being present and listening to the sensations within the body
Humans can be conditioned to certain behaviour and/or exposed to negative behaviour, which will often cause the false self to emerge.
The false self shows itself through behaviours and inner dialogues - it can also be called the ego.
False self behaviours keep a person small and prevent then from growing and expanding.
Horses coaches are able to identify false self behaviours and enable clients to becomes aware of inner sensations attached to false self behaviour. Over time clients learn how to move away from these behaviours and become authentic beings
