8 Signs You May Be Under a Psychic Attack Without Knowing It

Sudden tiredness, a feeling of heaviness, unease after certain encounters… When a period of life becomes hard to explain, some people talk about a psychic attack or an energy attack. The important thing is not to turn a feeling into a certainty too quickly.

In my practice as a magnetic healer since 1999, some people contact me saying: « I feel as if I’m under a psychic attack. »

I take this feeling seriously, but I never automatically confirm that a person, a presence or an outside influence is responsible for it. My approach is first to listen to what is being experienced, to look at what is concrete, and to help the person step back.

What is a psychic attack?

The term psychic attack is neither a medical diagnosis nor a scientifically established notion. In energy or spiritual vocabulary, it generally refers to the feeling of being negatively affected by something you perceive as outside yourself.

You will also come across the terms energy attack, negative influence or energy disturbance. They can cover very different experiences.

Tiredness, a stressful period, a conflict, poor sleep, emotional fragility or a health problem can also deeply change the way you feel your surroundings.

« Welcoming a feeling does not mean immediately turning that feeling into the truth. »

8 signs that may lead you to ask yourself the question

There is no list that can identify a psychic attack with certainty. However, some people use this term when they notice several unusual changes in their daily life.

1. Unusual tiredness

You feel drained after certain situations or certain conversations. Before any energy-based interpretation, it is important to also consider sleep, stress, mental load and possible physical causes.

2. A recurring sense of unease

A place, a relationship or a particular context brings on tension or a feeling of heaviness in you. A feeling that keeps coming back tells you more than a one-off impression.

3. A feeling of being « loaded »

After certain encounters, you feel more tense, irritable or exhausted. This can be experienced as something energetic, but it can also be linked to the dynamics of the relationship or the stress of the exchange.

4. Thoughts going round in circles

After a conflict or a difficult period, the mind can stay fixed on a person or an event. Coming back to observable facts helps you regain your discernment.

5. Disturbed sleep

Waking in the night, intense dreams or difficulty falling asleep can reinforce the impression that something is wrong. These signs have many possible causes.

6. Strong sensitivity to atmospheres

You quickly pick up on tension in a group, someone’s mood or the atmosphere of a place. This sensitivity does not necessarily mean you are under attack.

7. The impression that difficulties are piling up

When several problems arrive at the same time, it is human to look for a link between them. It is still useful to look at each difficulty separately, along with its possible concrete causes.

8. The feeling of no longer being yourself

You feel you have lost your calm, your energy or your bearings. This feeling deserves to be heard without rushing towards a single explanation.

Psychic attack or a vulnerable period: how can you tell the difference?

This is often the central question. When someone is tired, anxious, weakened by a conflict or facing several difficulties at once, they can become much more alert to anything that seems unusual.

I suggest starting with simple questions: what has actually changed? When did it start? In what circumstances does the feeling get stronger or weaker?

Is there a physical, emotional, relational or environmental explanation to check? This approach takes nothing away from what you feel. It simply stops a worrying interpretation from becoming stronger than the facts.

Should you look for who is sending you a psychic attack?

I don’t recommend it. Trying at all costs to identify a person responsible can feed worry and mistrust, and sometimes damage relationships without any objective evidence.

Even when someone tells me about jealousy, a conflict-ridden relationship or a sense of negative influence, I do not tell them that someone is « sending » them something.

Protecting yourself does not mean living in fear of what might come from other people. Good protection starts with discernment, boundaries and re-centring.

How to protect yourself from a psychic attack or an influence you feel is negative

Come back to what is concrete

Write down what you feel, the circumstances in which it appears and what genuinely improves the situation. This kind of observation stops every difficulty from being read as a sign of an attack.

Set boundaries in your relationships

If someone regularly wears you out, puts you under pressure or does not respect your boundaries, the most useful response can be very concrete: take some distance, reduce contact or say clearly what you will and will not accept.

Re-centre yourself

Rest, breathing, a walk, a calm environment or any personal ritual that helps you come back to yourself can be useful.

Avoid over-interpreting

The more you monitor every sensation, the more likely you are to find « signs » everywhere. An energy practice should help you regain your independence, not make you dependent on constant checking.

When should you ask a health professional for advice?

Some feelings need medical or psychological attention, whatever way you interpret them.

Magnetic healing can be part of a complementary approach to well-being, but it never replaces a diagnosis, a treatment or medical follow-up.

How I approach this request in a session

When someone contacts me believing they are under a psychic attack or an energy attack, I start by listening to what they are going through and how long it has been going on. I do not try to automatically confirm their interpretation.

The session can offer a moment of calm and re-centring around this feeling. Depending on the situation, I may share the reference points that come from my experience of magnetic healing to help the person step back.

Some people tell me afterwards that they felt calm, lighter or more centred. Others experience the session differently. Every feeling remains personal and no particular result can be guaranteed.

Psychic attack, evil eye and self-bewitchment: not the same thing

These terms are often mixed up, even though they do not refer to exactly the same idea.

A psychic attack generally refers to an outside influence felt as hostile. The evil eye belongs to old traditions and beliefs that link the gaze, envy or jealousy in particular to a negative influence. Self-bewitchment, as I use the term, draws attention instead to the role our own fears, repetitive thoughts and interpretations can play.

To explore these differences further, you can read my article on the evil eye and the one on self-bewitchment.

What if you are mainly sensitive to other people’s energy?

Feeling very receptive to people or atmospheres does not necessarily mean you are under a psychic attack.

It is a different subject, which I cover specifically in my article Why do I feel other people’s energy?

This distinction helps you avoid automatically turning a sensitivity to atmospheres into an outside threat.

You don’t need to be certain before you come

You can simply describe to me what you feel, how long it has been going on and what worries you.

I welcome you in a space where you can find calm again, step back and re-centre on what is right for you.
