For me, doing research is digging into myself, my experiences, how life has affected me, how I see life through my eyes. To write down any experiences I've had, try to explain them and why they're there or happen. What may cause it (like shifts, mental state, etc). I want to rationalize it all but also for the things that stick, I want to see and learn about what I not only connect to but what I could possibly be that matches up to me, even if I've never learned, heard or read about other creatures/animals. I want to always question myself, take notes on what changes or sticks, what feels right. At the end of it all, if I end up not identifying as Therian/otherkin or otherhearted/kith, then I at least got to learn more about myself in the end.
My favorite ways are to journal, taking time to look through my life, draw and notes about it, myself and any changes. Have any shifts occurred, changed, etc.? Watching documentaries, asking questions, reading different books, articles, speaking with a therapist, bouncing ideas/questions of of each other, is it to do with a traumatic experience, a disability or something along those lines (like autism, depression, etc), just being alone with nature and keeping track of how I feel and think.

I started watching Pink Dolphin when I first learned about therianthropy, so I just took on saying it like tear-e-an
I pronounce it "the-ri-ann".
Depends. Sometimes I say thee-ree-in and sometimes I say thar-ei-en
I say th-air-ee-in
I pronounce it th-air-ee-an
