My animal is suddenly different.
You know your animal.
You know how he normally reacts, how he connects with you, what makes him happy, and when he prefers to be left alone for a while. That is precisely why you often notice immediately when something changes.
Maybe your animal is suddenly quieter. Or perhaps much more restless.
Perhaps he is withdrawing, has become more anxious, or constantly seeks your attention. Perhaps he reacts differently to you, to other animals, or to situations he used to have no trouble with at all.
And sometimes you can't really explain exactly what has changed.
You only feel:
“My animal is suddenly different.”
When you no longer recognize your animal
A change in behavior can start small.
Your pet:
seeks less contact than before
is suddenly much more affectionate
reacts more quickly irritated or angry
has become more anxious
is restless or tense
withdraws
seems to have less zest for life
reacts differently to other animals
sleeps or eats differently
gets startled more easily
suddenly doesn't want to be alone anymore
exhibits behavior that you have not seen before
Sometimes there is a clear reason. Sometimes not at all.
You can come up with all sorts of explanations, but still be left with the feeling that you are missing something.
An animal usually doesn't change just like that.
Behavior tells a story.
That does not mean that every change in behavior has one clear cause. Animals can react to what happens around them in many different ways.
A change in the home, a new pet, the loss of a companion, a move, a different daily routine, or a major life event can affect an animal.
But sometimes there seems to be no reason at all.
You might be wondering:
What is wrong with my pet?
Why is he suddenly acting like this?
Has something happened that I didn't see?
Is my animal trying to tell me something?
Those are precisely the questions that animal communication can provide more insight into.
Sometimes you don't know what has changed
As an owner, you primarily see your animal's behavior.
For example, you notice that your dog suddenly doesn't like being alone anymore. Or that your cat hides more often. Your horse reacts differently while riding or suddenly doesn't want to go to a certain spot anymore. Your rabbit is quieter than usual.
But you cannot always know what is going on inside your animal.
Maybe your pet has been through something.
Perhaps something has changed that you did not perceive as important.
Perhaps your animal is reacting to a change in its environment.
Or perhaps there is something you simply do not yet have an explanation for.
Connecting with your animal can create a different perspective.
Changes after an event
Sometimes you can pinpoint the moment your animal changed very clearly.
For example after:
a move
a renovation
the arrival of a baby
a new pet
the death of another animal
a change within the family
a holiday or stay in a shelter
an accident or frightening moment
a conflict with another animal
an operation or period of illness
a change in training
another daily routine
You might then notice:
“Since then, my animal hasn't been the same.”
That connection can be important.
During an animal communication session, we can explore what emerges from your animal regarding that change or event.
But sometimes there is no clear cause at all.
This also happens often.
Your pet changes slowly or suddenly, while you cannot figure out why.
You haven't changed anything.
Nothing special happened.
Yet your animal feels different.
That can actually be frustrating. After all, how can you solve something if you don't know what the problem is?
Animal communication can then help you better understand what your animal is experiencing and what he or she wants to let you know.
It is not a matter of guessing what your animal is thinking. During a session, I attune to your animal and convey what emerges.
Every animal shows change differently.
No animal reacts exactly the same.
Dog
For example, a dog may suddenly demand much more attention, withdraw, be startled more easily, or become more restless.
Sometimes the way a dog reacts to people, other dogs, being alone, or certain situations also changes.
Cat
Cats often show changes more subtly.
A cat may withdraw more, hide more often, react differently to touch, or suddenly exhibit different behavior towards people or other animals.
Horse
In horses, a change can become visible in the contact, during riding, or in handling.
For example, a horse may react with more tension, be less willing to cooperate, or simply react differently to a particular place or situation.
Small pets
Even small pets can change noticeably.
A rabbit, guinea pig, rat, bird, or other animal may, for example, become quieter, exhibit different behavior, or react differently to its environment.
Because these animals sometimes show their signals subtly, it can be extra difficult for an owner to understand what is going on.
What is my animal trying to tell me?
Perhaps that is the most important question you ask yourself.
You don't just want to know what your animal does.
You want to understand Why.
During an animal communication session, you can ask questions about what you have noticed.
For example:
Why have you changed?
Has something happened?
How do you feel?
Is there something bothering you?
Why are you reacting like this to this situation?
What do you need?
Is there something you want to tell me?
Can you explain why you are exhibiting this behavior?
You don't have to come up with the right questions yourself. We can look together at what is important for you and your animal.
If your pet suddenly acts differently after something drastic
Some changes occur after an event that can have a significant impact on an animal.
A fight with another animal, for example.
An accident.
A difficult experience.
A change in the family situation.
Or the loss of an animal with which your pet had a strong bond.
After such an event, an animal may react differently than before.
It might seem as if your animal is still dealing with that event.
In such a situation, it can be valuable not only to look at the visible behavior, but also to try to understand how your animal experienced the event.
Animal communication can be a way to listen to your animal.
You don't have to solve it immediately.
When your animal changes, the first reaction is often:
“How do I get my animal back to how it used to be?”
But perhaps it is more important to first understand what has changed.
What is your animal experiencing?
What does your pet need?
And what is he or she trying to make clear to you?
When you understand that better, you can also better determine what support is appropriate.
Sometimes listening is already an important first step.
What can an animal communicator do for you?
During an animal communication session, I connect with your animal.
You can tell me in advance what you have noticed and what questions you have. Then I will attune to your animal and pass on what emerges.
That can be information about an event, feelings, memories, the environment, or something your animal would like to let you know.
Every session is different.
Sometimes very concrete information emerges. Sometimes it is mainly feelings, impressions, or images.
The goal is not to pigeonhole your animal, but to listen better to what your animal is showing and wants to tell you.
Sometimes your animal needs something different.
A change in behavior does not always have to do solely with communication.
If your animal suddenly changes drastically, seems to be in pain, is not eating or drinking, looks very sick, or exhibits other unusual physical behavior, it is important to also consult a veterinarian.
Animal communication does not replace a physical examination or medical treatment.
You can view different forms of support side by side:
Investigate what is going on physically.
Listening to what your animal is experiencing.
Checking what support your animal needs.
Together, those different perspectives can give you a more complete picture.
Does this sound like your pet?
Maybe you have been looking at your animal for a while and thinking:
“I don't know what's going on, but my animal has changed.”
You don't need to know exactly why first.
You don't need to know which questions to ask either.
Tell me what you have noticed, what has changed, and what you would like to understand.
From there, we can see what your animal communicates during a session.
Do you want to better understand why your animal is suddenly different?
Frequently Asked Questions
My animal has suddenly changed. Can animal communication help?
Animal communication can help you gain more insight, from your animal's perspective, into what is going on and what your animal wants to let you know.
I don't know exactly when the behavior changed. Can I still request a session?
Yes. You don't need a clear cause or exact date. You can describe what you are noticing in your animal right now and what change you notice.
Can I ask if my animal is bothered by something?
You can ask me this question during a session. If there are indications of a physical problem, it remains important to have your animal examined by a veterinarian. I will certainly advise you to do so.
Does this also work for a horse?
Yes. Horses can have an animal communication session, just like dogs, cats, and small pets. I have also communicated with cows and chickens. So anything is possible.
My pet has changed after a traumatic event. Can I ask questions about that?
Yes. You can let me ask questions during the session about what happened and how your animal experienced it.
Can my animal tell me what he or she needs?
Certainly, they can usually indicate this very well. What emerges varies by animal and situation.
I just don't understand my animal anymore. Where do I begin?
Start with what you see. Describe what has changed, roughly when you started noticing it, and what you would like to understand. You don't have to have all the answers yourself.
