FAQ:What do you mean by “attachments,” “entities,” or “cling-ons”?
These terms describe patterns of energy that attach to a person’s energetic field during periods of stress, trauma, or dysregulation. They are energetic imprints or spirits that remain connected to the body, nervous system, and subtle body after an overwhelming experience.
How do attachments form?
Attachments form when the body experiences trauma, shock, or prolonged stress and does not fully process or release it. At the moment of trauma, the nervous system may go into freeze, collapse, or hyper-vigilance, creating an anchor point where energy becomes trapped. This unresolved energy can attract or sustain attachments.
What is an anchor point of trauma?
An anchor point is a place in the body or energy field where a traumatic experience is stored. These points are often associated with:
Chronic tension or pain
Emotional looping or intrusive thoughts
Feeling “not fully yourself”
Feeling stuck
Persistent fatigue or heaviness
Negativity and mood issues
Mental illness symptoms
Addiction
Self-sabotage
Self-doubt
Nightmares and sleep issues
Attachments tend to connect to these anchor points because they provide a consistent energetic pattern.
What do attachments “feed” on?
Attachments are sustained by certain body states, not by who you are as a person. These include:
Chronic stress or overwhelm
Fear, shame, or unresolved grief
Nervous system dysregulation
Energetic stagnation
When the body remains in survival mode, these patterns persist.
Is this my fault?
No. Attachments are adaptive responses to experiences that were overwhelming at the time. Your system did what it needed to do to survive. There is no blame, weakness, or failure involved.
How do you clear attachments?
Rather than “fighting” or forcing anything out, I focus on:
Regulating the nervous system
Clearing stagnant or trapped energy
Restoring safety in the body
Releasing the energetic charge around the trauma anchor
When the body returns to a regulated state, the energetic conditions that sustain attachments dissolve naturally.
Do attachments come back after clearing?
Once the underlying body state and trauma anchor are addressed, attachments do not typically return. This work supports long-term change by helping your system learn new, safer patterns of regulation.
Is this psychological or energetic?
Both. Trauma is stored physically, emotionally, neurologically, and energetically. Energy work complements somatic and trauma-informed approaches by working with the layers that talk therapy alone may not reach.
Will I feel different afterward?
Many clients report:
Feeling lighter or more present
Reduced emotional reactivity
Improved sleep or energy
A sense of coming “back into themselves”
Each experience is unique, and changes may be subtle or profound.
Is this religious or belief-based?
No. This work does not require any belief system. It is grounded in body awareness, nervous system regulation, and energetic principles that operate whether or not you consciously believe in them.
