What Is Cord Cutting — and How Can It Help You Feel More Like Yourself?
Have you ever felt tied to someone emotionally, even long after they’re gone from your life? Or found yourself thinking about someone obsessively, feeling drained, or unable to move on? If so, you may be experiencing the effects of an energetic cord.
What Are Energetic Cords?
Energetic cords are invisible lines of connection that can form between you and another person, place, object, or even a past version of yourself. These connections can carry energy back and forth — and while some cords are loving and supportive, others can be draining, controlling, or simply no longer serve you.
You might form cords:
In close relationships (romantic, familial, or platonic)
Through trauma or strong emotional experiences
After working closely with someone (like a coach or client)
With a place (like a childhood home or location of a traumatic event)
Or even with a goal, idea, or past life
When Cords Become a Problem
Not all cords are negative — many are natural and supportive. But over time, cords that were once helpful can start to weigh you down. You might feel emotionally stuck, energetically drained, or even experience physical tension at the site of a cord (like your stomach, back, or chest).
Unhealthy cords often come with feelings like:
Obsession, guilt, resentment, or jealousy
Difficulty letting go or moving on
Feeling “hooked into” someone else’s energy
A lack of emotional boundaries or independence
A Real-Life Example
A client came to me after a breakup that had happened over a year ago. She had no contact with her ex, but still felt consumed by thoughts about him. She couldn’t stop checking his social media or replaying conversations in her head.
As we worked together, it became clear that there was a strong energetic cord at her solar plexus — the energy center linked with personal power and boundaries. This cord was draining her and keeping her emotionally stuck.
We gently cut the cord during a session, with compassion and clarity. Within a few days, she reported feeling lighter, more focused, and at peace for the first time in months. “It’s like the spell has broken,” she said. “I finally feel like myself again.”
Why Cord Cutting Matters
Cutting cords doesn’t mean cutting people out of your life. It simply means releasing energy that’s no longer aligned — especially when that energy is rooted in fear, control, dependency, or past pain.
When cords are cut with clear intention:
You reclaim your energy and clarity
You create healthy boundaries
You stop taking on others’ emotions or projections
You begin to heal emotional wounds that kept you stuck
You move forward from a place of empowerment — not entanglement
Cord cutting allows for unconditional love, freedom, and individuality to exist — without unhealthy energetic ties.
You Have a Right to Your Own Energy
Sometimes we hold on because we think letting go will harm someone, or we feel responsible for their happiness. But the truth is: energetic entanglement helps no one. You have the right to your own energy. And in reclaiming it, you’re better able to show up with clarity, presence, and real love — if and when you choose.
Ready to feel more like yourself again?
If you suspect you’re carrying someone else’s energy or you’re struggling to move on from a past relationship, cord cutting can be a powerful step toward freedom.
