True Stories of an Animal Communicator Dr. Monica Diedrich Praise for "Uhat Animals Tell Me” Dr. Monica warmly relates her experiences of the healing power of commu¬ nicating with animals after recovering her childhood telepathic connection. Walking us through her own skepticism of the information she receives, we learn about how animal communication works with her insights, confirma¬ tions, and results. Enjoy this compassionate addition to this amazing field. —Penelope Smith, animal communicator and author of Animal Talk and When Animals Speak Through her captivating stories, Dr. Monica proves that animals can think and feel and that they experience lives not so different from our own. This courageous account of her psychic exploration will help you understand the power of your own mind and open your heart to the inner world of your animals. Bravo, Monica, on a job well done! —Amelia Kinkade, author of Straight from the Horse’s Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers This book reveals animal thoughts, feelings, and motivations. When it is time to let your pet go, Dr. Monica’s stories, advice, and wisdom will pro¬ vide you with courage, compassion, and validation. —Dan Poynter, author of The Older Cat If you care, as I do, about your animals, this is one book you’ll want to keep nearby. Learn that your animals are trying to communicate with you and how you can communicate back to them. You will be better able to care for your animals and help them live a better life. —Jim Donovan, author of Reclaim Your Life Your book is great. I enjoyed the many photos and stories. Like you, my favorite pastime is working with animals. They are so honest and so will¬ ing to communicate. The more books that are out on animals, the better it is. One of our missions on this earth is for people like us to teach as many people as we can how to communicate with animals and plants. We are doing just that. Keep up the good work. —Patricia Murphy, author of Cats/Canines Can Communicate I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Skeptics may scoff, but sooner or later animal communication will be recognized as a valid phenomenon. And when that happens, it will be thanks to books like What Animals Tell Me. Dr. Diedrich’s humanity, modesty, and integrity shine forth on every heart¬ warming page. Three paws up! —Helen Weaver, author of The Daisy Sutra: Conversations with My Dog Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2018 with funding from Kahle/Austin Foundation https://archive.org/details/whatanimalstellmOOOOdied About the Author Monica Diedrich has heard animals speak since she was eight years old. By the age of eighteen, she was helping humans understand animals’ feelings. Studying the Eastern traditions gave her an understanding of how nature, animals, and humans are interconnected, and how healing for all needs to be attained at three levels: mentally, physically, and emotionally. Since 1990, she has been a pet communicator, talking to animals non¬ stop. She has also worked as a veterinary assistant. She holds a degree of Doctor of Metaphysics and is an ordained minister.
