If everyone can communicate with animals—why doesn’t everyone feel confident doing it?
Why do so many intuitive people feel like they’re faking it, struggling to trust themselves, or constantly second-guessing what they receive?
I’ve walked that road myself. My first experience with animal communication and energy healing was all the way back in 2010—but it took me more than ten years to confidently say:
I am an animal communicator
And honestly? I don’t want it to take that long for you.
Because here’s the truth I discovered—painfully, slowly, and finally:
It was always happening.
I was communicating with animals. I just didn’t trust it. I didn’t know how to recognize it or own it.
So what gets in the way?
There are four major blocks I see over and over again, in myself and in my students. I call them the 4 Ds—or, as I like to say, the 4 demons of animal communication.
Let’s meet them.
This is the loudest of the demons—and usually the first to show up.
Doubt questions every image, sensation, word, or feeling that floats in. It’s the voice that says:
You’re imagining this.
This isn’t real.
Who do you think you are?
But here’s the thing: Doubt is not your intuition. It’s your conditioning.
You were intuitive as a child. You just forgot. And now, doubt has become the fog that hides the truth you already know.
So, instead of trying to fight it, acknowledge it.
Say to yourself: “I know you’re here—but I’m still going to try.”
That’s how you move through doubt: by continuing to show up.
Phones ping. Cats meow. Your to-do list ambushes you the second you sit down to connect.
Distraction isn’t just background noise—it’s a force that pulls you out of the present moment.
And presence is essential. Animal communication only happens when you are here, now.
That’s why we practice the pause point technique in my classes—to help you step out of the noise and back into your intuitive body.
Presence is a skill. And it’s a skill you can build.
This one’s tricky, because discernment is actually an amazing strength.
Over time, the ability to differentiate what’s yours and what’s theirs becomes one of your greatest assets. But discernment gets in the way, when it shows up as over-analysis, self-censorship, and fear of being wrong.
What helps is coming back to your inner landscape.
The more attuned you are to your own thoughts, feelings, and energy, the easier it becomes to spot when something doesn’t belong to you.
Discernment isn’t a demon to be banished. It’s a sword to be sharpened—with practice, compassion, and patience.
The last demon is a shape-shifter. It shows up as rules, opinions, expectations, and unconscious bias.
You may have heard, “My dog barks all the time—can you fix that?”
And just like that, you’ve formed an idea about what’s wrong before you even connect.
Or maybe you’ve just spoken to one anxious cat in the morning—and by evening, when another anxious dog shows up, your mind is drawing comparisons.
Dogma is your collection of beliefs, judgments, and interpretations—and it can cloud your connection.
I’ve made these mistakes and learned.
During a student practice, I once received a clear image of a dog running to the door when strangers arrived. I told my partner, “You have a very friendly dog.”
She laughed and said, “Actually, he’s the opposite.”
Turns out, the image was accurate—but my interpretation wasn’t. The dog wasn’t greeting visitors out of friendliness—he was guarding his space.
We don’t need to be perfect interpreters. We just need to share what we receive—cleanly, honestly, without spin.
Let go of “shoulds.” Let go of meaning-making. Just receive. Just trust.
If you recognize these blocks in yourself, don’t panic. Don’t judge. Don’t quit.
These “demons” are not proof that you can’t do this. They’re proof that you are already doing it—you’re just learning how to trust it.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And, every step you take to name, notice, and move through these 4 Ds brings you closer to the deep, powerful connection with animals that you were born to have.
If you’ve met these 4 blocks on your own path and you’re ready to move through them with guidance, confidence, and real-time feedback—I invite you to book a mentoring call with me.
This is a safe, supportive space where we untangle doubt, sharpen discernment, and deepen your trust in your own intuitive voice—with your animal teachers leading the way.
