Shelter animals experience unique traumas from displacement, intake stresses, and subsequent fostering or re-homing. Through communication, the animal can explain their former lives and preferences for their adoptive home. If you are considering adopting a shelter animal, communication can help your prospective family member understand what is happening and support adaptation to their new family and environment.
Using communication to prepare an animal for a medical procedure, visit or surgery usually results in a more cooperative patient, who understands the why, how and what of the vet visit.
If the animal has experienced severe abuse, emotional trauma, or abandonment, he/she may be experiencing symptoms of PTSD. Your family may be seeing aggression, depression, or compulsive destructive behavior. Communication can get to the source of the problem, help the family negotiate behavior changes and positive outcomes. Recovery can be enhanced by the flower essence healing or remote shamanic animal healing.
