Spirit Release Therapy (SRT)
Spirit Attachment & Spirit Release Therapy Clinical Alternative to Religious Exorcism and Traditional Shamanistic Practice
Spirit attachment, also known as entity attachment, refers to the belief or concept that a disembodied entity or spirit can attach itself to a living person. It is often associated with the paranormal, spiritual, or metaphysical realms.
How Do Spirits Attach to People?
Discarnate spirits attach to living individuals when their frequencies resonate, this can happen due to:
Emotional Trauma & Grief – Spirits may be drawn to unresolved pain, loss, or suffering. Substance Abuse & Addiction – Alcohol, drugs, and extreme emotional states can weaken a person’s natural spiritual defences. Energetic Weakness & Exhaustion – If your energy is low, your auric field is more susceptible to interference. Spiritual Practices Without Protection – Opening up to spiritual communication without proper grounding and shielding can invite unwanted attachments. Environmental Influences – Being in locations with high spiritual activity (hospitals, battlefields, graveyards, or trauma sites) can increase the likelihood of attachment.
Mental & Emotional Symptoms of Spirit Attachment
The presence of an earthbound spirit can lead to a variety of mental and emotional disturbances, which can often be mistaken for psychological conditions. Some common symptoms include:
Sudden mood swings & personality shifts – Feeling like a different person at times, or unexplained anger and sadness. Intrusive thoughts & AVH (auditory verbal hallucinations) – Hearing voices that aren’t your own, negative self-talk, or feeling compelled to do things out of character. Chronic anxiety & paranoia – Persistent feelings of being watched, followed, or influenced by an external force. Depression & emotional heaviness – A deep sadness that doesn’t seem to have a personal cause. Fatigue & brain fog – Feeling drained, struggling with focus, and experiencing memory lapses. Sleep disturbances & nightmares – Waking up feeling exhausted, seeing shadow figures, or sensing a presence in the room. Self-harm or suicidal thoughts – Some attachments amplify negative emotions, making intrusive thoughts more severe. Addictive behaviours & cravings – Sudden urges for alcohol, drugs, or destructive habits.
It is important to note that not all mental health issues are caused by spirit attachment, but energetic influences should not be ignored, especially when symptoms appear suddenly, without a clear psychological or medical cause.

Spirit Release Therapy
According to those who believe in spirit attachment, these entities or spirits can attach themselves to individuals for various reasons. Some explanations suggest that the spirit may be seeking energy, trying to fulfill a purpose, or simply lost and confused. These attachments can occur due to a variety of factors, such as trauma, emotional vulnerability, negative energy, or engaging in activities that invite spiritual entities.
There are different types of spirit attachments that people claim to experience, ranging from benign or neutral entities to more malevolent or disruptive ones. Some individuals may report feeling a presence, experiencing sudden changes in behavior or personality, hearing voices, or having recurring negative thoughts that they believe are influenced by the attached spirit.
Various methods and approaches are proposed to address or remove spirit attachments, such as energy healing, spiritual practices, rituals, or seeking the assistance of professionals specializing in this area, such as energy healers, psychics, or exorcists.
Spirit Release Therapy, is a clinical alternative to religious exorcism and traditional shamanistic practice, but it is still largely unknown by mainstream medical practice and psychiatry.
This is due to several interrelated factors. Primarily, materialistic science does not recognise any concept of a spirit world and doctors are therefore not yet trained in spirit release therapy (SRT) principles and techniques.
The presenting symptoms of spirit influence, such as hearing voices and other distressing phenomena, are interpreted by medicine as symptoms of psychosis or dissociative identity disorder (DID) formerly known as multiple personality disorder (MPD).
Negative spirit influence is therefore treated by psychiatry with chemical medicines that are used to try to suppress the symptoms.
If the cause of a person’s presenting symptoms is known to be of spirit influence then the appropriate therapeutic intervention would be Spirit Release Therapy (SRT).
Spirit Possession
Psychosis, Exorcism,
Hearing Voices &
Intrusive Thoughts
Spirit Release Therapy (SRT) sits uncomfortably between the disbelief of a materialist secular society and the subjective experience of spirit possession: whether that experience is a symptom of psychosis, symbolic representation, socio-cultural expectation or a veridical manifestation.
In contrast to the monism of mechanistic science, every culture and religious belief system throughout human history has its traditional beliefs of spirit possession in some form or another with corresponding rituals for the release or exorcism of spirit entities.
It is common knowledge that Christianity has its angels, devils and demons (although the majority of modern so-called Christians probably don’t believe they really exist). Islam has its Jinns and the Hindus have a variety of evil spirits.
The clinical experience of SRT practitioners reveals that the most common form of spirit attachment (an alternative term for possession) is the influence of spirits of the deceased who have not completed the progression from an earth life to the spirit realms where they ought to be.
These discarnate spirits are termed by SRT practitioners as ‘earthbound’ spirits, or ‘EB’s. In such cases the SRT practitioner treats the earthbound spirit as a client and helps them to progress to where they ought to be following the death of the physical body. Due to its non-religious, clinical principles ,SRT practitioners refer to the destructive, malevolent forms of spirit that cause problems , not as devils or demons, but at ‘dark force entities’ (DFE)s.
People can be influenced by other forms of spirit including the thoughts and emotions of the living where there may be a strong emotional connection or what may be called a ‘sympathetic resonance’. Sympathetic resonance can be initiated by a relationship with another person that could have originated in a family relationship, an intimate relationship with a past lover, or an enemy, and could originate in this earth life, or a past life.
There are cases where the possessing entity has actually been created by the individual themselves from their own creative thought processes and powerful emotions. These entities are known as autogenic (self created) and can take on an autonomous nature whose purpose is to punish the creator for a variety of reasons including transgressing social, religious, family or cultural taboos. Other autogenic thought forms may include dissociated sub-personalities, as in cases of DID or multiple personality.
Spirit Release Therapy, although it can accommodate an individual’s spiritual or religious beliefs, is a clinical practice that has been developed since the 19th century by pioneering medical practitioners and psychiatrists. Here is a selection of titles written by some of these pioneers:
