Psychic attack. Why I don’t like taking on psychic attack cases.
Every few months I get a message like this that makes my heart sink
“Hello Lisa –
I am contacting you with a rather dire situation. I have been the unfortunate subject of a psychic attack for more than a year now and I need this situation cleared immediately. My life and the lives of people in my life have been adversely affected in a number of ways. Here is a list of some of my symptoms:
- Sudden and unexpected loss of my job, a job at which I was about to be promoted and given a substantial raise
- Loss of my apartment and possessions as a result of losing my job
- Adverse changes to relationships (friendships, family relationships, I have been unable to engage in a healthy romantic relationship for more than 10 years)
- Adverse changes to my body, including etheric markings
- Brand new car strangely broke down, then was totalled in a collision that could have killed me
- Severe hair loss
- Hearing voices constantly
- Foul odours that come from nowhere and just as quickly disappear
- I sometimes wake up with unexplained bruises all over me
- Strange knocks and noises throughout my home
- Inexplicable electronic failures (repeatedly broken watches, volume stops working on the televisions in the house, repeatedly blown light bulbs almost immediately after replacing them)
Can you help me?”
Cases of psychic attack are horrible and I don’t like them for one of two reasons.
They are not under attack but think they are
- Either the client is one of those people who just can’t seem to get in control of their lives, constantly looking for someone or something to blame for their circumstances, and when they have run out of their list (parents, governments, teachers, doctors, society, the environment, god) they turn to the devil or someone who they believe is psychically attacking them.
They are under attack
- Or they really are under psychic attack, which although EXTREMELY rare (less than 1% of reported cases are true psychic attack) in which case I would have to do battle on the astral plane. This is never fun, takes massive amounts of energy and usually leaves me feeling drained and unable to work again for upwards of a few weeks.
Let’s look at these two situations.
They are not under attack and not in control of their lives.
Now what I’m about to say is rather controversial. But basically this person has a profound case of “victim” mentality. That’s right. They simply cannot, will not or dare not, take responsibility for their situation. And before you say “that’s a bit harsh and lacking in compassion” remember this is NOT about blaming the individual. It’s about owning your responsibility and choices.
These unfortunate people have sadly never been taught how to develop inner strength and resilience. They have never been taught how to build their energy, willpower and success. These pore people are usually riddled with painful emotions, sadness, hurts, guilt, and most of all fear, as being weak, leads to being fearful. They usually have a lots of limiting beliefs like “I deserve to be punished” “I’m nothing” “I’m a bad person”. All of which will create the exact circumstances that are identical to a true attack.
The “cure” for these people is to work with them to get them back in control of their lives, taking responsibility for their actions and choices, and most of all releasing their painful emotions and limiting beliefs. Unfortunately they are very challenging, because all too often they simply want to be rescued. They want me to come in, “clear them of psychic attack” without the need for them to do or change anything in their lives.
These cases usually come to me following a string of other “unethical healers” who claimed to clear them but which didn’t work. Which of course it wouldn’t because the true “cure” is the get the client to take back control of their lives, not simply for them to put it in the hands of another person which in this case is the healer.
I rarely take on these cases as they often simply want me to wave a magic wand and make their life ok again without the need to change anything. usually they will need a lot of coaching around enforcing boundaries, and taking action to get what they want.
The client IS under attack
These cases are just as tricky. True psychic attack is rare but usually happens because the attacker has found a weak spot and used that to manipulate the victim, both psychically and psychologically. Attackers find a weak spot and then use the victim’s energy against them.
In addition to healing up their painful emotions and limiting beliefs, the victim needs to take back control of their energy, thoughts and actions, to take action and responsibility. They need to develop courage and enforce their boundaries.
The only good thing I can say about true psychic attack is that these cases are very rare. It takes an enormous amount of energy to sustain an attack on another person, so there simply aren’t that many people who can run enough energy to do that. And if they can run that much energy they usually find far better uses to put it to.

According to a team led by Professor Gerard Hodgkinson of the Centre for Organizational Strategy, Learning and Change at Leeds University Business School, intuition is the result of the way our brains store, process and retrieve information on a subconscious level and so is a real psychological phenomenon (source Science Daily Mar. 6, 2008).
