Posession shifting is intense. There are two categories of posession shift.

Posession shift from human to animal

A Possession Shift is when the Shifter sends their soul, mind, spirit, astral body or whatever into an animal body in such a way that they are in the animal's body, see and perceive through it's senses, and can at least partially control what it does (depending on how far they have ousted the original resident soul of the animal).

This type of Shifting is very hard to do, very hard to keep doing once it is done, and fairly dangerous. There are many protection mechanisms that keep the proper soul in possession of the body it was born in, and the Possession Shifter may be injured by them and will often have to fight with the animal's soul for possession of it's body. In addition, the channel that the Possession Shifter opens up between his or her body and the animal's body tends to cause big problems for the Shifter when the animal dies, regardless of whether he or she is in the animal's body at the time.
But Possession Shifters will not receive corresponding injuries when the animal is injured, whether they are in the body or not, yet they may feel pain and become sick when the animal is injured. Basically, Possession Shifters can rarely keep it up for long without serious consequences, and if they had any real power they would choose one of the other types of Shift to perform. Since it takes a certain amount of power to possess any living thing, the number of potential possession shifters is small. Bi-location Shifters are commonly mistaken for Possession Shifters.

Posession shift from animal to human
You technically are sort of already possessed by an animal spirit if you see my point here. So what happens is when that animal spirit decides to take over your mind and you can't have control over it for a while.
It happens under subtances or alcoohol and even during strong emotions like anger.
