Qualification title
Crossfields Institute Level 3 Diploma in Mindfulness for People with their Animals: Trust Technique Practitioner
QRN
Summary
The Trust Technique is based on the theory that deepening the connection between people and their animals can transform the lives of both. It uses mindfulness as a basis for aiming to resolve problems for the individual and also for the animal. Although an individual may initially seek help for a problem with their animal, they often also benefit personally from using the technique. A Trust Technique Practitioner holds a space of supporting people to work with an animal that they are responsible for.
