MESSAGE 1 NOTES What is the Trust Technique? A method of reducing thinking levels to promote trust, connection, confidence and communication..
3 main principles Creative reaction (building of trust and reaction) Realisation Learning (the area where we overcome problems) Trusted co-operation (developing communication within a mutual benefit) Thinking levels > The more we think the more disconnected we become > The less we think the more connected we become
1. Creative Reaction_Description First part_CR is the building of trust and connection with the use of presence. We create the feeling that the animal reacts to and the feeling that we are sharing is of "peace of mind". We literally say, share with the animal; "right now you can be peaceful". We do that by holding the space of "non-thinking" the animal reacts to. The result is that the animal mind starts to be reduced.
Second part_How to deliver this "peace of mind" you've created within yourself? It's not only about being present around animals. TT is working with a focused presence; the reducing of thinking levels whilst holding a state of listening. This technique is called; Mindful Regard. It delivers the feeling specifically at the pace of the animal and allows us to fully regard the animal and understand them on an emotional and physical level. Half of building trust is that the individual feels regarded and understood!
2. Creative Reaction_Essence There are 3 ways people and animals react to fear: 1) the animal is overthinking and reacting to its environment 2) the person is overthinking and the animal is reacting to the person. 3) the animal's and the person's life experience are very "similar" = attraction
