Oh my goodness, this is the best website ever! James is so endlessly patient with his presentation of information. He reminds me of Mister Rogers. High praise! The information is presented so simply. I love watching all the animals and how they each interact with this technique. It is so beautiful and informative. I love the real tough animals. It is so amazing to watch them go all the way through the process, and that the animals are participating. Thank you so very much for all that your organization does for these animals and the non-profits. Thank you also for making this available. Forget the News, the world is truly becoming miraculous!

The first online course confirmed my motivation for my new choice of life helping animals.
I was often moved by the videos : Ares the Lion, Bella, the bears and the last one with the horse in Mane Chance sanctuary (beautiful !).
The session that seemed very long to me, compared to others, was the one with the puddle and the vaccum cleaner !!
I didn't understand all the english, especially at Hope Pastures because of the accent and all the noise behind.
I have received my camera GoPro and can't wait to start the course in June, hopping my english will be good enough !

The system used to deliver this course is excellent because it covers practically all the ideas and concepts needed to convey the key points of the course. I am sure that as we advance in the study I shall be able to expand my opinion quite a bit… meanwhile I have to say: “So far, so good”. Ah! I have to say it, I am delighted to be part of the “Translation Group” and I am sure that many extraordinary experiences await for me in the near future.
Incessant blessings

This is what I have been waiting and looking for. Not only really helping animals but also feel the heart open and love growing in myself. I‘m adicted. Thank you so much.

“Do animals understand what we are saying? Yes, but you have to make sense”
Vicky Hearne "Adam’s Task"

I am deeply moved by discovering the Trust Technique. I am a Jungian psychotherapist and over the years each learning path I have taken has been a rediscovery that presence and listening are the foundation of what I can offer. I have come to see more fully that human disruption from what we have called nature (as if it is something other than human) and human nature are of course not separate. Eco-therapy has taken me some of the way, what I am learning from the Trust Technique now, joyfully, falls into place.

Trust Technique addresses relations of humans and the animals they are responsible for; it also reaches into human/nature relations in the wild. Essentially it is a well taught practice of meditating alongside an animal and discovering that when the human enters a meditation and is in a state of utter presence and listening, the animal relaxes and can enter a peaceful state that is ,also, healing. When this is repeated, sometimes in small doses if the animal is very sensitive and/or traumatised, the animal comes to recognise it is this human that is enabling the peace, and connection and trust become possible.

However, the method completely gets that the relationship is actually an inter-actional state that the animal may have initiated by catching, ("flirting with", to use Arnold Mindell's formation in Quantum Mind) the human. And, that there may be a wound in common. The growth of the relationship, or the process of healing, whichever is the intention, may well depend on the human healing her/his traumas. This is explicitly taught and it’s beautifully shown that the Trust Technique offers healing to both human and animal.

In the first place it is clear (delightfully) that it is humans that needs training!

The teaching of the method, initially online, clearly draws on a wealth of psychotherapeutic knowledge and good practice, on spiritual traditions and indigenous knowledge. And, it has synthesised this with clarity and apparent simplicity, but the kind of simplicity that comes from deep understanding. Following the videos makes me laugh with pleasure as I see them explain in accessible language earnest conceptions of psychoanalysis and all its derivatives. It seems to me the teaching comprises an excellent psychotherapy training, made the more possible by beginning with human/nature relations.

The videos are a masterclass in how to present online.

I am so impressed with the Trust Technique. Simple yet profound, it has made a world of difference for our cats and our household. Thank you for making this technique available to others. The video course is rich in content and insight, well-organized and structured, taking the student more deeply into understanding and application of the work. Truly a gift for those who wish to develop a deeper relationship with and understanding of animals. Thank you so much.

The Trust Technique is what I have been looking for, for so long - it is the missing link! For ourselves and our relationship with our animals, but also our relationship with each other and the world in general.
I have come to really see the intelligence of my animals, and to learn to trust their intelligence and let go of my preconceptions about their behaviour. A whole new world has opened up where we learn and work together, where they show me stuff and communicate with me. I am full of appreciation for them, and for their willingness to meet me - they have waited patiently for years.
It affirms what I knew as a child; that animals are not ‘just animals’; that we can connect with them and it is AWESOME. I feel so thankful to have been brought to this work. It has benefitted me in so many ways, not just in my relationships with animals but in my whole life. It’s a game changer. Thankyou James and Shelley!

Very interesting view of connecting this one. I am glad I met you, really!!

Shanti Shanti Shanti

Thank you guys for your effort to make our world better place to live and helping animals. Your kindness with animals is breathtaking and your videos very eyes opening for all humanity to understand that life is love itself. I cannot find nice words enough describing your loving videos and work and the way how you are presenting it. This is not job, it is be what you guys love to be. Very fulfilling. Thank you so much.

Both my horses and myself are very happy to be learning this technique to repair our lost trust and confidence. The difference (when I get it right!) Is amazing. Can't wait for more information as I have a very strange pony who is switched off to everything. I am slow at doing the course as i am busy at the moment with my cows. Thankyou for sharing this with us.

I am currently studying Lesson 14 and Mr. French mentions how the Trust-Technique reaches people!! I'm excited to get to that part of the training.

Many Thanks and Blessings

❤️❤️ i feel myself much more strong beimg im the moment just now!! Such a nice teaching!!❤️❤️????????????????

Brilliant course. Has helped me to such a large degree with many things but the highlights have been
1) with treating a nasty wound in an unhandled filly. Helping her be peaceful so she would her stay lying while I treated and bandaged her wound when she had never been touched before. Such a treasured moment.
2) helping a foal (being treated for osteomyelitis) be peaceful through his rather lengthy treatment process. Many beautiful moments with His Mum and him. He cast himself one night and while I was trying to pull him clear, he indicated that he wanted to be rolled so I rolled him, he stayed peaceful throughout the process.

This technique works so well with our newly gelded four year old pony stallion!!! Thank you!!!

Hello...I am so enjoying this course...I can't seem to find enough time to do it...I spend every spare moment I have continuing....I completely agree with the principles and the method of kindness and trust VS. fear and dominance....so I asked Creator to help me do this in a kind way.....and your advertisement appeared as I was watching some horse training youtube....thank you for all you do for the animals. I look forward to going onto the next course to be a Practioner.....Blessings to both of you and your team.

I finished all the trust technique video course and enjoyed so much this time shared with Shelley and James and all those animals which made me crying for Joy but also for sadness ,that for sure I'll do it all again from the beginning ! I wished it never finishes ! I am voluntary everyday in a rescue center for dogs and I could help already so many from them ! As I am not professional for some case I'll have to ask advice to James or Shelley ! It is just magic and good for the animals and myself !If you hesitate ,go on you 'll never regret it !Thank you Shelley and James for all what you do ,you give us hope in this world !❤️❤️
PS. excuse my english , I am french .

I just started The video Course and am very impressed with this technique.. I am hopeful that this course will positively impact me, as well as my dogs and cat.
