"Buck" The Horse Whisperer Documentary Sounds Like A Must See

' "Buck" Brings The Real Horse Whisperer To Movie Screens!'

As so often happens, the extraordinary truth about the life and background of the real horse whisperer is a far cry from the movie with Robert Redford, good though that was.

The remarkable skill he had, according to Buck Brannaman, (the cowboy on which the movie was based), stemmed from his abused childhood. It was that which enabled him to break horses in so effectively and caringly.

Buck was abused horrifically by a drunken Father. Yet significantly he is quoted as saying now:  "When you go through something like that, the abuser steals your childhood, and you never get that back. But they can't steal your innate knowing that there is a right and wrong. They can't steal your will to make decisions. And eventually at some point every body has to decide which way they are going to allow their life to go."

Mercifully he was fostered later by a wonderful couple and his Foster Mother is still alive.

But do read the full report and look out for the showing of the documentary near you. It could help so much for our self-understanding and for understanding others.

The Great Pay Back of Rural Life

It is now claimed that the brains of Rural dwellers are wired up differently to those of Urban dwellers. The result? Rural dwellers suffer less stress and anxiety.

The fact that there are more suffering anxiety and mood disorders in cities - pro rata of the population, has long since been acknowledged. But that their brains should be wired up differently is new. This research by The Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Montreal, Canada is worth checking out by those operating in this field. It could throw a very different light on the way we need to review and restructure urban living and treat sufferers. Schizophrenia is almost twice as often found in in individuals born and raised in cities. It is thought now that different regions of the brain are employed to cope with urban living.

They found that physical warnth and social warmth are to some extent substitutable in daily life!

Imagine This!

Men Whose Wives Retire First Feel Healthier!

A research project in Missouri has found that men feel less well if they retire or lose their job before their wife retires. The feeling of being better cared for seems to be at the heart of it. This is all the more extraordinary for the fact that when the men who were on their own and felt less well, were medically checked, their perceived ailments were not found!

Squaring Circles: What Does It Involve Emotionally?

We need to rid ourselves or at least adjust childhood emotional patterns which are unhelpful in adult life. Re-visiting our childhood, reminding ourselves of emotional memories we have and what was at the heart of them, replaying the interaction emotionally between ourselves and our parents or those who took care of us, as well as recalling the interaction between our parents themselves, is a vital step. It can be a daunting and disturbing exercise. Yet it is essential, if we are to find peace in adult life. Only if we look at our early years- and without recrimination - are we ever going to identify and understand why we have been reacting as we have. An emotional vicious circle can be turned into a virtuous square once we understand why we reacted as we did as children and how we can better react now. There are a number of tutorial guides available to help us achieve this.
