🌬️ The Scared One: A Collective Awakening
In all my years of working with animals and people, I’ve never seen The Scared One pattern rise so strongly in the collective as it has in recent times. It’s as if something sacred has been unlocked—an invitation to face our deepest fears and tend to the parts of us that never felt safe.

This pattern often begins in the womb, or even in past lives, where the soul believed that being here wasn’t safe. But now, those that use this pattern are being given the opportunity to meet that fear with compassion, presence, and grace.

The Scared One is perceptive, spiritually attuned, and deeply sensitive. Healing doesn’t come through force—it comes through gentleness, through nature’s quiet embrace, through the steady presence of those who ask nothing but offer everything

This is the first of five emotional wound patterns that humans and their animal companions unconsciously create to cope and survive. … and until they are ready to begin, dismantling it and begin to release the emotions that have prevented their feeling safe in a body.

I wrote this book directly from my heart to the center of your animal relationships to expedite your shared healing, evolutionary journeys.

✨In essence, it’s a love letter to the healing bond between animals and their people to awaken the soul wisdom that’s been waiting to be revealed.

💖 May it find its way to you in the right and perfect timing.

Over the coming weeks, I will be sharing more details about the contents and the five emotional wound patterns that humans and animals adopt to cope from their early traumas.

Thank you Natural Awakenings of Atlanta for highlighting my new book's release this week!

"Award-winning author and certified interface therapist Tammy Billups announces the release of her fourth book, Your Animal – Your Soul Mirror: Healing the Emotional Wounds of Animals & Their People, available October 28 on all major book sites. The book offers readers a guide to understanding and healing the emotional wounds within themselves and their animal companions.

In the book, Billups identifies five emotional wound patterns—the Scared One, Needy One, Sensitive One, Protector and Perfect One—and explores how they manifest in animals and humans. Through this understanding, readers can discover techniques to transform negative behaviors, increase love and foster mutual healing.

“To me, it’s more than a book; it’s a bridge of healing between hearts and species,” says Billups, who has spent 25 years in research and practice on the subject. “The healing of our wounds and traumas and the gifts garnered by learning through reflection are a big reason why we choose to partner with animals for our mutual healing and growth.”

Her work has been a “soul mission,” she says, as it “honors the sacred bond between humans and animals and offers a path for mutual emotional restoration and deep connection.”

💝 Yesterday was a full-hearted day—after hosting a joy-filled Zoom launch for my fourth book and facilitating healing sessions, I was whooped. Through it all, Bodhi had been by my side, offering his quiet presence and subtle support in ways only he can. We are true partners. From the moment Bodhi and Rumi chose me, they knew at a soul level their path would be one to aid in the sacred work we signed up together to do. So, when I finished with the last session, I glanced down and saw Bodhi, already settling in, ready to exhale with me.

🙏🏼 Thank you to everyone who joined me for the Zoom launch of my new book—it meant the world to share that moment with you. For those who couldn’t attend, I’ll be posting the video on my YouTube channel soon so you can also learn more about the book and meet all the surprise guests.

Why I Wrote: Your Animal – Your Soul Mirror

There was a time in my life when my heart was wrapped in layers of protection—so tightly, I didn’t even realize it had closed. Trauma had shaped my early years, and like many who’ve walked through fire, I developed survival patterns that kept me safe… but also kept me distant from my own tenderness.

And then came the animals….aka the healers… the warriors… the angels in four-legged bodies.

With their acceptance and love, they reached places in me that no human could. They didn’t ask me to be anything other than myself. They saw through my pain and believed in me. And somehow, they created cracks in the protection around my heart that forever changed me.

Many years later, after completing a lengthy and transformative practitioner certification course in energetic and emotional healing for people, I began a practice for two-legged’s—- but quickly wondered if my new trade might be a resource to also help animals to enhance their level of wellness.

What I observed astonished me: animals were mirroring their humans’ emotional wounds with uncanny precision. The bond between them wasn’t just companionship. It was soul-level reflection…a pre-planned soul contract to do their inner emotional healing work alongside each other.

It then became my soul mission to help animals and their humans heal together—to honor the sacred agreements of their emotional and evolutionary journeys.

This new book is the culmination of decades of research, thousands of healing sessions, and a lifetime of observing and listening to the quiet wisdom of animals and their people.

This book is my love offering to all who have walked through the fires of life—and found refuge in the healing presence and love of animals.

To those who turn to their beloved companions not just for comfort, but for soul partnership, Your Animal - Your Soul Mirror was written for you.

With love and gratitude to friends who supported my journey to write this book. Special shout out to Penelope Smith, Animal Communication Specialist who graciously wrote the foreword; along with the courageous people who allowed me to share their love story about the growth and healing they experienced alongside their animals.

Something about an orange kitty on Halloween...

10/18/2025

Thinking out loud....I believe that one of the reasons we get wiser as we age is because of the many varied different experiences that we have been through. We not only learn at many levels that we will survive and get through things, we realize what’s most important and the small stuff we used to freak out about doesn’t really matter. That’s why grandparents are so much more relaxed than parents. You don’t know what you don’t know until you know it.… or feel it.

But the even bigger wisdom-bringer is when we build our emotional maturity muscle by being able to ‘relate’ to more and more people. The longer we’re here, the more experiences we have and thus, able to relate to a larger percentage of people. We are then able to see, with more frequency, how the things we say and the choices we make can affect others, and can then consciously choose to be kinder when a similar incident in the past might’ve triggered a negative reaction.

The ability to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes shifts us out of judgment and into compassion. This helps us to feel less triggered and less reactive. To seek the higher perspective that there is always a reason why someone is different than you are (and that it’s okay)-is a gift to all, especially yourself.
As we emotionally mature we become more self-reflectors versus redirectors. Responders rather than reactors.

Love and respect yourself through it all. 🙏🏼
