In today’s episode Brenda provides listeners with an insightful overview of her research project. She introduces the comprehensive journey through her own research beginning with the foundational aspects and progressing through the details of attachment theory, animal-assisted therapy, and the biological framework of empathy.

Brenda provides listeners with the foundational aspects of her study, focusing on children aged 9-12 who had experienced domestic violence and abuse, honed in on participant behaviors. Through the lens of attachment, Brenda aimed to uncover the connection between humans and animals and its profound effects on emotional expression and empathy.

Drawing on the polyvagal theory and neuroplasticity, Brenda examines the biological basis of empathy, emphasizing the potential for empathic exchange between species, specifically dogs. Through the careful design of a four-session protocol, Brenda’s study seeks to uncover not only the immediate impacts of animal-assisted therapy but also the patterns in the relationships formed. 

In this introduction to a series of episodes Brenda shares how her journey in research reveals the complex relationship between theory, methodology, and real-world applications. It emphasizes how empathic connections play a crucial role in therapeutic interventions, showing their profound impact on individuals' well-being and healing processes.

Here’s why I went dark on social media a couple of weeks ago…

1. I was trying to be something/someone I’m not because that’s what I was told to be. Too much influence.  I thought that making the move from therapist to coach was a lateral move.  It isn’t.  Therapy clients are not coaching clients.  Trying to offer products of services that sound like coaching to a person who is looking for therapy makes you look sleazy and/or people don’t trust it because it’s too new.
2. I was overwhelmed with how much information there is to learn to be a successful business owner.  I have been learning and practicing skills of how to run a virtual business for 4 years behind the scenes (i.e. creating courses, check out pages, payment installments, website, social media).

What I’ve learned:

1. If you’re an entrepreneur, you will always be “starting over.” Things will feel hard, uncomfortable, and they will be full of “failure” because this is how we learn and this is how new things that didn’t exist before come to exist.  This is how innovation happens.
2. Learn to develop your own voice and come back to it often.  You will get off track, you will feel overly influenced.  No one will know your business like you so you have to be able to make the decisions for it regardless of what other experts are saying.  This means you can’t be afraid to fail and make mistakes. 
3. Take breaks to get perspective.  You’re gonna need it.
