Toni, explains how feeling drained, scattered, or lethargic may relate to energetic cords and attachments formed through relationships, trauma (big T or little T), emotional caretaking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, enmeshment, and even ancestral patterns. She frames scattered energy as a normal trauma response but emphasizes personal responsibility for healing through boundary awareness and reassessing roles that may stem from lack or internalized messages of unimportance.

She describes signs of unhealthy attachments, such as bodily aches or heaviness after being around someone, and notes that highly sensitive or empathic people may over give and attract takers. Practices to call energy back include a brief silence and affirmation (“I call all of me back to me”), somatic “wiping away” hurtful energy while verbally releasing it, and seeking practitioners who do cord cutting and energy work, with periodic check-ins around life changes or seasonal cycles.
