MicaMale border collie pit bull mixMica is very affectionate most of the time but cannot be physically restrained in any way. Holding a paw or even holding him to fasten his collar causes him to panic and growl. If he is not immediately released, he escalates the warning into a snarl. Intention:To be able to release his fear and trust me to restrain him for necessary exams and grooming.

I connected with Mica and was shown an experience of his where he felt stuck in the past - I was taken to a scene where he was literally stuck in a tunnel in the ground, and couldn't get out. This felt like a metaphor, though perhaps it really was something that happened to him and that makes him anxious about being restrained in any way. He doesn't want to feel restricted because he's afraid that he won't be able to get out of the situation and be free again. I sent him the intention of being there with him to help him while he felt stuck in that scene in the tunnel.

Thank you so much, Lauren, for your communication with Mica and insights gained. I feel that your perception of his predicament is spot on. It feels as if he is trapped in a small area and can't get out. I had not thought of it that way before, only that he didn't want to be physically restrained. I don't know of any actual experiences that he's had of that kind of situation. We adopted him at 8 weeks of age and he had been in foster care since soon after birth. We have a large fenced in back yard and the dogs get to run in the pasture twice a day, so it doesn't seem like he is actually closed in physically at this time. Perhaps he is reliving a past life experience. He and I have been together at least once before in my present incarnation and he had a condition diagnosed as owner directed aggression in the past life. He loved me but attacked me many times and I felt as if he was trying to rid himself of anger from a past life but didn't realize he was doing it at the times when he was in attack mode. In this life he is less aggressive, but my fear of being attacked again causes me to back off when he growls. So we feed on each others' fears. Thank you for spending time with him and sending him release and healing. I'm sure we will both benefit from it. We send you much love.
