This Is How I Work with Living Pets:
As a People and Pet Therapist, Medium and Healer, I help pets and their owners to heal emotional and behavioural issues together, in order to gain a happier and more harmonious household.
Pets are our Mirrors and our Messengers
They are constantly showing us the healing we need to do ourselves, whether by mirroring aspects of our personality or unhealed wounds, or by sharing messages with their behaviour and how it impacts us mentally and emotionally.
I don’t get away with this either, my pets have mirrored and shared messages for me too over the years!
Therefore, when working with you and your pets, I take the holistic approach of working with both of you. If I just work with your pet, and they are picking up on something in you or relating to you, our work and results are limited, as I am sure you can understand. If we do not work with what is coming up for healing for both of you, in connection with their issue(s), then the root cause(s) will be left unaddressed and your pet will keep responding to that vibration/energy and trying to show it in their behaviour (how amazing are they by the way?). This could be how you feel about yourself; past trauma you have been holding on to and suppressing for a multitude of reasons; a reflection of your situation in life and how you feel about it; and plenty more – the mirrors and messages are endless because their group bond with you is strong.
My Thinking Process
I assess your pet’s history and current situation, and how that has made/makes them feel; however, I am also assessing their environment; when the behaviour started and what was happening at the time for them, for you, for any member of the household. I look at what thoughts and feelings their behaviour/communication triggers within you; any parallel soul paths that you both may be on together, e.g. both suffered from abandonment. It may be that you both have similar ailments or conditions, similar concerns right now. Whatever it may be, please do not doubt, you have come together to heal together.
In every case I see, there is always something within an owner that needs to be healed, which surfaces during sessions. That could be a dog on anti-depressants and an owner who is also a dog expressing a lot of emotion in ways unacceptable to their owner, but is mirroring how their owner also has unexpressed emotions within.
Being the Detective
My job as a People and Pet Therapist is to work with all the information we have gathered together, use my intuition and my training in human and animal therapies (I am trauma informed), to work with both of you on what comes to light as we go on this journey of exploration and healing.
Release Any Guilt or Shame!
Your pet showing you what needs to be healed is nothing to feel ashamed of, it is a wonderful gift your pet is giving you, the chance to heal more within you, whilst helping them, so you can both walk taller and lighter through your days, and your pet will respond to that shift in your energy and vibration. If you are calmer, they will be calmer. If you are less anxious, so will they be.
Alongside Therapy
Alongside therapy, there may be some practical work involved which may entail bringing in extra resources e.g. dog trainer; researching what your pet’s needs are and following through with those e.g. enrichment, lifestyle or environment changes, quality time, self-care and self-healing, and very often more compassion and acceptance with yourself, which in turn you will then do with your pet.
It may well involve home activities for you as an owner to do for yourself and/or your pet, helping you both work on healing the issues arising.
My work can sometimes take a quirky turn and involve a more spiritual side, such as communicating with and clearing Spirit from your home that your pet is picking up on, teaching you how to cleanse your home, protect your energy, and embrace the spiritual side of your own journey.
Which Therapy Do I Need?
I work intuitively with whatever therapy I feel is best for what is arising in that session at that moment. So, you don’t need to work out which therapy to choose. Yes, you can specifically choose a certain modality for me to work with your pet, but I normally feel into what may be best to start with on our first telephone call or email.
The Outcome
When you come together to heal together, the outcome is a happier and more harmonious household as both you and your pet’s needs are better met. The sessions create a deeper connection, understanding, compassion and love between you both, and we all know when our pet is happy, so are we!
