When most people hear the term psychic attack, they imagine curses, hexes, or some kind of dark magic performed by a cloaked figure under the moonlight. While that imagery makes for great TV, it’s far from the reality of how psychic attacks actually work. The truth is, there’s no need for spells or rituals—because real psychic attacks happen every day, often from people you know. They’re not supernatural; they’re psychological and energetic.
In fact, you’ve probably been the target of one… or unknowingly delivered one yourself.
Real psychic attacks don’t come from demons or witches. They come from people who use energy to manipulate your emotions, weaponize your fears, and undermine your self-worth. These are calculated energetic intrusions—intentional or not—that sink deep into your psyche and leave you feeling anxious, unworthy, and energetically drained.
Let’s unpack what a psychic attack really is—and how to recognize and defend against the three most common forms.
1. Emotional Manipulation: The Subtle Control Game
The most insidious psychic attacks often come through emotional manipulation. This is when someone intentionally shifts your emotional state to gain control, advantage, or influence. They know exactly what to say to get under your skin, evoke guilt, or cause confusion—and they use it to sway your behavior.
Think of the friend who always makes you feel like the bad guy, even when you’re expressing a valid boundary. Or the partner who uses silence and distance to punish you until you give in. These interactions aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re energetic invasions. They cause you to second-guess yourself, leak your power, and feel emotionally unstable.
Every time someone manipulates your emotions to get what they want, they are energetically interfering with your system. That’s a psychic attack.
2. Fear as a Weapon: Keeping You Small and Silent
Another powerful form of psychic attack is when someone deliberately keeps you in a state of fear. This isn’t always obvious. It might be a boss who threatens your job subtly. A partner who makes you afraid to speak your truth. A parent who constantly warns you about failure or danger in the world.
Fear is one of the easiest emotions to exploit, because it closes your energy field. It disconnects you from your intuition. It makes you easier to influence.
Those who regularly make you feel unsafe, uncertain, or incapable are launching a psychic assault on your sense of personal power. They may not be lighting candles or chanting spells, but their fear-based conditioning is just as potent—if not more so.
3. Attacks on Self-Esteem: The Slow Erosion of Confidence
Some of the deepest psychic wounds are caused by people who chip away at your confidence, one comment at a time.
“You’re being too sensitive.”
“You’ll never make it doing that.”
“You really think people take you seriously?”
Whether it’s sarcasm disguised as humor, constant correction, or dismissive remarks, this kind of behavior causes serious energetic damage. Your aura becomes filled with doubt, shame, and inadequacy. Over time, you start to internalize those messages, weakening your connection to your authentic self.
This isn’t just bad behavior. It’s psychic sabotage.
How to Defend Against Real Psychic Attacks
Awareness is your first line of defense. Once you realize that psychic attacks are rooted in manipulation, fear, and degradation, you can start to recognize them and take your energy back.
Here are three ways to protect yourself:
- Energetic Boundaries: Visualize a shield of light around you before engaging with people who drain you. Imagine their words bouncing off your field instead of sinking in.
- Discernment: Pay attention to how you feel after spending time with someone. If you consistently feel anxious, insecure, or confused, it’s a red flag.
- Reclaim Your Voice: Speak up when someone tries to manipulate or shame you. Even saying, “That doesn’t feel good to me,” can energetically sever their influence.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to fear curses or rituals to take psychic attacks seriously. The real danger lies in the way people use emotional influence to steal your power, shape your beliefs, and keep you small. Once you start seeing psychic attacks for what they truly are—everyday energetic manipulations—you can reclaim your space, strengthen your field, and step fully into your sovereignty.
Your energy is sacred. Protect it fiercely.
