Let's Talk to Animals Shannon Cutts

Are you a highly sensitive person? Does your pet have the trait of high sensitivity?
   
Dr. Elaine Aron pioneered research into the survival trait of high sensitivity, a genetic trait people share in common with over 100 other animal species. 


However, if you are a parent or guardian to a highly sensitive pet, you are most likely not aware that your pet has the trait. You may even think your pet is just overly anxious, reactive or poorly socialized due to past trauma, abuse or rehoming.  


In today's episode, I talk with Jane-Marie, highly sensitive person and coach for highly sensitive people, about what it feels like to be a highly sensitive person in the world today.   


We also talk through the process of identifying if your pet is highly sensitive. As a dog mom of two, Jane-Marie unpacks her journey to discover if one of her dogs is also highly sensitive.   


In this episode you will learn:  


The hallmarks of the highly sensitive person The DOES framework for understanding high sensitivity Self-care and coping strategies for highly sensitive people  How to help your highly sensitive pet de-stress and unwind Ways to find support as a highly sensitive being in this world  ✨ Jane Marie's website

Anxious dogs. Reactive dogs. Dogs bearing behavioral scars from past trauma, abuse or rehoming. Sometimes these canine quirks are easy to resolve.

But sometimes our pets need more from us, their pet parents, to overcome quirks arising from selective breeding, high sensitivity, anxiety and other bumps in the road.

When is one intervention, such as dog training or western veterinary care, enough?
When is it time to look at other options such as holistic vet care or energy healing?
What is the role of pet parent intuition in creating your dog's support team?
How can animal communication be part of the solution for your quirky pet?

I talk with celebrated canine experts Jess & Scott from The Quirky Dog about all of these questions and so much more.

Traumatic pet death is much more common than most pet parents realize. 
The truth is, the grief of pet death - even under the most idyllic and ideal circumstances - is still under-appreciated in most parts of the world. 
And so resources for support and coping can feel few and far between. 
And for suffering pet parents who feel lost and alone, it can feel hard to express the depth of the loss - even to close partners and friends.
The loss can feel even harder to bear when your pet dies in a way that leaves lingering questions, guilt, shame, self-blame and feelings that it should have happened differently.
This causes many pet parents to stay stuck in a grief cycle where the traumatic experiences of their pet's death never get expressed or resolved.
In this episode of Let's Talk to Animals, we focus in on life after traumatic pet death, how to recover and regroup and the role animal communication can play to help you find closure and healing.
Specifically, you will learn:
The definition of traumatic pet death - how to know this is what you are experiencing. The two levels of how we as pet parents interact with our pet's inevitable death and our understanding of why it happened the way it did.The opportunities available to you as a pet parent for finding grief support, greater understanding and reconnection with your pet in spiritThe role animal communication can play in bringing you the answers you seek and the closure you need to move forward in your life.✨Find pet grief support resources now ✨

Pet reincarnation is a wondrous experience. But it can also bring up a lot inside us! 

This is especially true if you go into the experience having certain assumptions or expectations about what it should be like to live with your reincarnated soul pet.

And it's hard not to have expectations or assumptions since, if you are like most pet parents, this is probably going to be your first time consciously welcoming your pet back in a new body!

Recently a pet parent client of mine asked me if I ever still feel grief about my soul bird Pearl, who passed away a year ago and then returned to me 8 weeks later through pet reincarnation as my current bird, Petal.

I answered, "Yes, absolutely!" So that is what this episode of Let's Talk to Animals podcast is all about. What is it really like living with a reincarnated pet? What if grief comes up (spoiler alert: it will!). 

I share six tips to navigate your first days and weeks of life with your newly reincarnated soul pet. 

Key topics include:

- How you can start at the acceptance stage of grief and work backwards
- What it feels like when your reincarnated pet gives you signs
- The magical power of gratitude for embracing your old pet in a new body
- The one key thing you need to say to yourself if you are grieving
- The power of honesty in bonding with your reincarnated pet 
- Why it is so hard to be patient with the pet reincarnation process

Pet death is the worst. In this episode, I give you actionable steps to take NOW to begin feeling supported, seen, connected, comforted, held and heard as you grieve and recover.

Just a year ago, I was absolutely flattened when my soul bird of 24 years, Pearl, suddenly and without warning transitioned to spirit. 
This episode comes from that immeasurably hard place. I want to share with you what helped me move through that time and into a space where I was quickly able to welcome in a new animal life companion, Pearl's reincarnation, Miss Petal.
