When the fear took hold after my accident, I felt so lost and alone. Nobody understood my fear—especially me.
I had always been the fearless kid.
The courageous one getting all of us into trouble.
The one who rode alone in the Angeles National Forest before school.

So how could this fear have come over me?
And more importantly—why was it holding me hostage?

Could I get my courage back?
And if so, how?
And if so, how?
These are the questions we ask ourselves when we’re sitting alone with our fear.
Our friends tell us to “just get on and ride.”
Or worse: “Show that horse who’s boss.”
Or worse: “Show that horse who’s boss.”

Step Two: Make the plan.
How will you get it back?
For me, it was a long road: preparation, knowledge, experience, therapy.
But there are faster ways too—like a reset hypnotherapy session or a tailored NLP session to help your mind and body recalibrate after an accident.
