Healing After Betrayal and Toxic Relationships: A Shamanic Perspective

Betrayal can change how you see more than the person who hurt you. When trust is broken by someone close to you, it can leave you questioning your own judgement and wondering how you did not see it coming.

The aftermath can linger

Even after the relationship or situation has ended, you may still feel caught in it. Perhaps you replay what happened or struggle to trust your instincts around other people. You may even feel as though the person still has some kind of hold over you.

Where “psychic attack” fits in Kristy’s worldview

Some shamanic traditions view intense hostility or controlling relationships as having an energetic impact that can remain with us throughout the years.

Kristy may explore this through the spiritual concept of psychic attack. Now, this does not mean assuming another person is deliberately harming you energetically. Rather, it offers a framework for understanding why some difficult relationships can leave us feeling deeply affected long after an interaction ends.

What healing asks of us

Healing after betrayal often means rebuilding trust in yourself. That may look like creating stronger boundaries or stepping away from a relationship that continues to cause harm.

Where there has been abuse or serious distress, professional support is important. Spiritual work can exist alongside that support rather than replacing it.

A shamanic perspective

Kristy may work with energetic residue or cords through shamanic practices centred on protection and release.

The intention is not to give another person more power over your life. It is to help you release what you no longer want to carry and feel more grounded in yourself again.
