Energy Policing: How Spiritual Narcissists Shame Authentic Emotions
By Festus Joe Addai
For spiritual narcissists, "energy" becomes another tool of emotional control. Instead of honoring the full spectrum of human experience, they shame natural emotions — sadness, anger, grief — by labeling them "low vibrational" or "toxic."
"Their version of healing demands your silence, not your truth."
How Spiritual Narcissists Police Energy
- Shaming Emotional Honesty: Criticizing expressions of grief, anger, or frustration as spiritual failure.
- Silencing through Positivity: Demanding constant "good vibes" as proof of your worthiness or enlightenment.
- Labeling Struggles as Weakness: Framing real healing work as "negative" or "dangerous energy."
The Hidden Harm They Cause
- Forcing victims into emotional suppression rather than authentic healing.
- Creating environments where only surface-level positivity is allowed — not real connection.
- Driving shame around normal, necessary parts of the healing process.
"They don’t heal wounds — they hide them under fake light."
Warning Signs of Energy Policing
- Feeling guilty for expressing pain, sadness, or anger.
- Experiencing pressure to "stay positive" even when deeply hurting.
- Being subtly excluded, ignored, or corrected when being emotionally honest.
Reclaiming Your Right to Feel
True spiritual growth embraces all human emotions — not just the easy, pleasant ones. There is sacred wisdom in anger. There is healing power in grief. You are not broken for feeling. You are not "low vibrational" for being human. Your full emotional range is a sacred part of your evolution.
Real light holds space for every shade of your soul.
