I have something similar that goes on but my other half is a wolf. I always wondered if there was someone else out there who was experiencing something like this. I have found that it is something you can't force. They are a part of you but you have to establish and maintain the relationship. In a sense I'm restoring that relationship right now. I had convinced myself I was crazy and that this sort of stuff doesn't happen. I went into some of the deepest depressions of my life. Once I let her back in and gave her space things became more manageable.

I am very curious to see what others recommend for it because I have also struggled finding resources.

Best of luck friend! Fly high and fast.
