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.”
