forward to offering this teleseminar series for doing TAT with animals.

atmosphere enhances our learning and growth.
Check
out this collaborative story
from the 2010 class (bottom of this page). |
"Jeanine DuBois is not only a
gifted and highly experienced facilitator of TAT with both humans and
animals, she is also a gifted and highly experienced teacher/trainer.
She knows TAT from the inside out, has deep respect for all beings, and
loves to teach and to share her passion for facilitating health on all
levels. I definitely recommend her class, "TAT for Animals" to anyone
who wants to work with animals, anyone who loves an animal, and anyone
who wants to deepen their understanding of TAT."
Laurie Hoff Schaad, TAT
Trainer,
participant in 2010 class ~
18 January 2011
I was surprised how many
considerations there were for doing TAT with animals, like first doing
TAT on my concerns about my cat. Jeanine gently guided us through all
these considerations and shared a step-by-step process for doing TAT
with animals, always allowing plenty of time to address our questions.
Hearing others' experiences with their pets each week was truly
inspiring. I used TAT alongside veterinary care to help myself and my
cat through a serious health issue, and took action after he told me he
wanted a more varied diet!

Here's
a
story
from
our 2010 pilot class...
“Surprised and
Delighted with Kisses and Inspiration”
I
took the workshop TAT for Animals I:
Family Pets given by
Jeanine DuBois, certified TAT Trainer and Professional. I have 5 birds
that
“own” me. They have all been adopted and have come to us with different
challenges. Although I had done TAT with them on several occasions, I
was
hoping to learn more about working with them through Jeanine’s class.
What
happened went beyond what I expected to learn in class. Through
Jeanine’s
wisdom and experience with working with animals, along with that of the
other
workshop participants, not only did I learn more, but also I gained a
wisdom
and a sense of presence, that I didn’t have before.
The experiences I had working with my birds during the time
between classes were remarkable. In the class, Jeanine talked about
asking our pet’s permission before working on them. It had never
occurred to me before to do this, and when I did ask permission from my
birds, they did “answer” me. All I had to do was to observe and to
listen. One bird would turn away from me, a very clear “no”. Another
“told” me that he didn’t want to do TAT with me, however, when I
explained to him how TAT could help him, he then gave me permission to
work with him. Another was always happy to do TAT with me, and always
gave me a clear “yes” each time that I had asked. It is this bird,
Ellie, a Senegal parrot, that I did most of the TAT sessions with.
One
of the subjects covered in the
workshop, was observing
shifts and knowing when our pet was done with a step. As we all know, a
shift
can be anywhere between very subtle to very dramatic and profound. I
found when
working with my own pets, as well as animal clients, that they will
definitely
let you know when they are finished with a step. My birds would gently
pull
away from me, a clear indication that they were done with that step. I
had an
experience working with Ellie that definitely let me know that she was
aware of
what was going on. I was on step 5, and I phrased it I apologize to
everyone
that I hurt related to this, including “my mommy”, and wish them love,
happiness and peace. After I said this, Ellie shifted and
started to kiss the fingers that I held in the pose for her. I couldn’t
have
asked for a clearer sign that she understood what was going on,
appreciated
what we were doing and was communicating what she felt.
I thank Jeanine for offering this wonderful class and
look forward to taking her next class, TAT for Animals II: Beyond My
Family’s Pets, which will be offered to TAT Professionals.
Warm blessings,
Shoshana

What
a
delight
to
bask
in
Shoshana’s
and
all
the
participants’
sharing
of
their
experiences,
insights,
and questions. Each class member brought
such richness to our gatherings. One special moment came right after
Shoshana shared with us these beautiful experiences regarding asking
her birds’ permission. At that moment, TAT Trainer Laurie
Schaad spoke in a quiet voice, revealing her insight as it came to
her: “It
just occurs to me, what if when I think I should do a TAT on myself,
what if I
ask my permission and listen to hear what the answer is? instead of
just
thinking, ‘This is what I should do, and I should do it now.’ There are
times
when doing TAT on myself does not feel effective, and what I’m getting
right
now is, I think there are times that I’m imposing that on myself as
opposed to
going on right timing when all of me is in agreement.”
I
remember
feeling
chills
and
awe
as
Laurie
spoke,
and
the
overwhelming
response
from
the
group
was “Wowwww... thank you!”
TAT
for Animals I: Family Pets opened
our awareness into how
to apply our presence and experience to TAT with animals while it
surprised and
delighted us with added insights for our personal TAT life.
In an email after our first class meeting, Shoshana
reflected, “working with animals is really not a whole lot different
than working with people. You need to ask their permission, listen to
them, respect their wishes, respect where they are coming from, accept
them for who they are and not put your expectations onto them.”
My
deepest thanks to Shoshana, Laurie,
and all the bright
souls who enriched our experience in piloting this class.
Blessings,
--Jeanine
DuBois
