Don’t Let Just Anyone Heal You | The Secrets of a Witch Podcast with Sabrina Scott episode 144

In this age of the internet and global connection, it’s common for DMs to be slid into by random ass people we may never have heard of. It may be tempting to see these messages as signs from god/spirit/whatever, especially when they talk about “divine channelling” and “downloads” and “I was told YOU NEED ME TO HEAL YOU” - it can be easy to be swept up if we are in a vulnerable place. However, most of these people are fucking crazy - either mentally unwell or simply scammers. Unfortunately both are equally likely and so discernment of who we allow into our energetic space to “heal” us is of the utmost importance. In this episode I talk about this problem so rampant as it is in the larger spiritual community, and some tips for better discernment.

Hi friends!

The fact is, no, you aren’t a baddie with high queen life standards if you see the warning signs and ignore them. Yes, shitty people are shitty, it’s true - all bugs are attracted to the light, both ones that bite and ones that are beautiful: once we get a glimpse of who someone is, we get to choose who and what we entertain. It’s okay to take off our mask, admit we got played, get vulnerable, and really examine ourselves to avoid something similar in the future. In this episode I talk about how this is unavoidable, actually, if we want to heal these wounds around worthiness, discernment, and abandonment in dating.
