What If Your Cat’s Healing Isn’t Just Physical?
Let’s talk about it. And a Gentle Tool for Emotional Support that I love to use on my clients.
As cat guardians, we do everything we can to support our cats' physical health—dialing in their diet, fine-tuning supplements, and keeping their environment safe and toxin-free. But what happens when your cat still seems… off?
Maybe they’re hiding more than usual. Maybe they startle easily. Maybe they’re not bouncing back from stress or illness the way you expected.
And maybe, just maybe, their healing isn’t just physical.
The Emotional Side of Healing:
Just like us, cats can carry emotional wounds. Traumas from early life, sudden changes in their home, medical procedures, grief, fear, or even absorbing your stress—it can all imprint energetically.
While some cats express this through aggression or anxiety, others become withdrawn, depressed, or seemingly “stuck” in a state of unease. You might feel like no amount of play, affection, or supplements is helping them truly let go.
That’s where energy-based tools like EFT Tapping come in.
EFT What Now?
Haha… I know. That was my response when I first learned about EFT Tapping too. It stands for Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping, is a powerful yet gentle method that helps release stored emotional energy from the body. It’s traditionally used with people, but it can be adapted to animals—with beautiful results.
EFT works by tapping or visualizing tapping on specific energy meridian points while holding space for the emotional issue at hand. In animal-focused sessions, the guardian or practitioner taps on themselves using the surrogate method while focusing on the animal’s emotions.
The result? Deep energetic shifts—often followed by calmer behavior, improved sleep, more openness, and even physical improvements.
How I’ve Seen it Help Our Feline Friends
I’ve personally seen EFT Tapping help support cats through:
Stress from moving or rehoming
Sibling tension or cat-to-cat aggression
Loss of a bonded companion (animal or human)
Trauma from medical procedures or past abuse
Emotional stagnation or unexplained changes in personality
Because EFT works on an energetic level, it bypasses logic and language. It meets your cat where they are—beyond behavior, beyond symptoms—and helps gently release what they may not know how to process on their own.
Healing Is a Two-Way Street
As an energy worker and intuitive, I often notice that what a cat is holding onto… mirrors something their guardian is holding too. Our bond with our cats is sacred, and often deeply energetic. EFT can help both of you clear what needs to be released.
