Shamanic View: Assuming the role of a healer can be filled with pitfalls speedbump's, and unseen hazards, generally it attracts good hearted people, that tend to trust everyone, but some people have hidden agendas some people are snake oil salesman some people just downright thieves. Individuals that are sensitive be it a healer or an intuitive, are generally very trusting souls, they tend to see good in everything, and everyone. This can attract people that could be shady, underhanded and not have your highest and greatest good in mind, they view us as a source or should I say resource, taking and taking till your left a empty shell of a person, gasping for air gasping for life, struggling to find anything to make you feel alive again. Psychic or mental abuse comes in many shapes and forms. either way the person is abusing you taking your power feeding off of your good nature and leaving you wondering what you did wrong, many people become excellent manipulators of others. Some people take others good hard work and say it's their own. I've seen this over and over and over again, goodhearted people opening up their own hearts and their arms or pocketbooks to help people, ending up being misled manipulated giving up their own power and getting hurt inappropriately, Ive seen healers and intuitive's drained. depressed and overwrought, deeply struggling physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and financially. All because they are goodhearted people. In the end those energy vampires will have there day they will be brought out into the light and there is nothing in this world they will be able to do to stop it pay back is a vengeful mistress. And she's got teeth.
