About this episode

In this new series of short episodes - we hear from Edye Godden, OT, CTRI & HETRA’s CEO, for a candid conversation about language, ethics, and professionalism in EAS.  Too often, well-intended phrases or flashy-looking credentials can blur lines, misrepresent our field, and ultimately undermine the work we’re all here to do. This episode digs into some big topics, including: 

  • Language matters—it defines what we do and adds credibility to our industry. Horses are partners, not “tools” or something we “use.”
  • Being skeptical of new social media and AI “certifications” or “advanced trainings”.
  • Stay in your lane & stay out of trouble
  • Clear terminology protects you, your program, and the entire EAS industry.
