If I understood it correctly, we have our mental states
Thinking Mind (our busy mind)
Conscious Mind (centered and aware/receptive)
Peaceful Mind (our meditative mind/peaceful feelings)

Then there are learning states (paraphrased)
10-7 ____ Reactivity (too excited to learn; reacting to past trauma — PTSD state)

6-4 ____ Conscious Learning (most effective)

3-0 ____ Peace Mind

I’m most excited about the technique Mindful Regard (sharing a meditative state/feeling at a measured pace to be received by the animal). I’m most disappointed in the titles of the 3 Parts of this Message of Trust. Part 1 was great to get the concept. Well done! Part 2 and Part 3 are misleading to me, someone over 60 and tired or marketing jargon. I expected some marketing (Part 1 did it for me). However, Part 2 and 3’s titles were misleading — it’s not ‘Start Learning’, it’s ‘What You Need to Do Next’ and ‘There Are More Courses to Take’. Maybe even as simple as ‘Start Learning the Techniques BY — taking the training course(s…

So, I love the heart of this Messages of Trust, the direction you’re going and taking us with you, and will do more to actually learn the techniques, but the ‘marketing language’ of Part 2 and 3 was very disappointing and turned me away for over a year. While the titles ‘could’ be interpreted as correct, innately they are misleading in this context.

Am I interested in learning the techniques? Absolutely. I would just suggest renaming Part 2 and Part 3 to be more clear for others like me.

For the past 5 years, I’ve been doing socialization work with cats at a shelter here in Italy. Until now, I have never found a training programme that could build on what I am already doing. I’m very excited, therefore, to come across the Trust Technique, which is clearly an opportunity to take the socialization work I’m doing to the next level. The Trust Technique is very inspirational, and through the use of compassion, mindfulness and humility, it offers a refreshing contrast to mainstream approaches to contact with animals which rely on domination and violence (the latter are used, unfortunately, by the majority of humans – consciously or unconsciously – to overpower not only the animal kingdom but also the vegetable and mineral kingdoms). Thankfully, the Trust Technique offers us a meaningful and heartfelt approach to the art of relating to animals in ways that are mutually beneficial.

This course arrived “by chance”, at the right time. Unexpected, and so appropriate!
I recognize myself as a person who thinks too much, just a little… too much! And the very beginning of the course explains with simplicity and ease all the difficulties I am currently facing (fears, lack of confidence in life, lack of relationships… which is incredible for a therapist!). And it even brought to light that my overthinking was negatively impacting my dog whom I adore.
From the very first videos, I tried to reduce my overthinking behavior, and something magical happened: my dog looked at me, as if she had noticed a change; and while I remained motionless, she approached her head so that I could pet her (usually, she let me do it; there, I waited for her to come to me). I can’t believe it. It’s simply GREAT!
Thank you so much for this introduction, with such an effective and directly applicable digest of information – so valuable! I also thank you very much for all these testimonies with animals – it’s impressive what can be done, all these positive results obtained; and it’s very touching to see the confidence emanating from these animals, their letting go in this mindful relationship.
A thousand thanks!!!

What an absolutely amazing result from using this technique. It makes so much sense to connect on this level and to realize that we are all connected and CAN connect so beautifully – this is very spiritual too. You’re doing a wonderful service to these animals and the world. Keep up the great work.

This course was absolutely what I asked for. Like literally.
I have been discovering spirituality for a while now and I was thinking, is there a higher way to communicate, heal and be with your animal? Then one day after the thought formed in my mind Stumbled upon the Trust technique in a youtube ad. I have never seen this ad before or after, so I think it was meant to find me. It was fate.
I learned a lot from this course and I’m so grateful for that.
Thank you so much! I hope I’ll learn more with every day.
I’m so happy and hopeful that there are so many people out there who are trying to find a better way to love animals.

The Trust Technique is simple, brilliant and effective! I was lucky enough to experience it as a client and felt in love with it stright away. I look forward to continuing with the video course and the practitinore course right after! It already is agreat support for my animals, my clients and myself.
