Full Description
A how-to guide on fostering emotional wellness for animals and their people
• Provides animal lovers with ways to identify which emotional wound pattern is operating within their companion and how to expedite the healing and resolution of that wound
• Offers techniques that can ameliorate negative behaviors, heighten levels of awareness, decrease suffering, increase love, and reveal one's truest self
• Allows readers to spot, through their soul mirroring animal companions, which survival patterns they themselves use and how to transcend them
This emotional wellness guidebook offers resources for animal lovers to symbiotically heal their wounds alongside their animal kin through soul mirroring—a collaborative heart and soul healing process. Healing our wounds and traumas, and the gifts garnered by learning through reflection, are one of the many reasons we choose to partner with animals.
Tammy Billups describes five emotional wound patterns—the Scared One, Needy One, Sensitive One, Protector, and Perfect One—and how to transcend them. With real-life examples, charts, and healing guidance tailored to each pattern, Billups explains how to self-nurture, discharge negative emotions, transform dysfunctional beliefs, release resistance to change, and unlock the heart—all to empower and enrich every animal-human relationship for increased happiness, well-being, and love.
