Signs that you may be in an unhealthy soul-tie relationship with the narcissist:

• Feeling anxious when away from the other person

• Becoming overly dependent on the other person for emotional support

• Having difficulty making decisions w/o their input

• Feeling jealous or possessive of the other person

• Struggling to define your identity without them

• Experiencing a sense of emptiness when away from them

• Feeling drained or exhausted after interacting with them
  

Prayers to break unhealthy soul ties:

“I ask Jesus to bind in his most precious blood any and all evil curses, pacts, spells, seals, hexes, triggers, trances, vows, demonic blessings or any other demonic bondages sinning against [insert name] or myself, or any of our loved ones, or any of our possessions. I ask him to bind them all and break them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.”

Prayers to break unhealthy soul ties:

“In the name of Jesus I renounce, reject, and severe any and all unholy ties with (insert name) that may have resulted because of my sinful relationship with them, and I return them and anything I have taken that was not mine to take, and I reclaim from them anything that was taken from me by them that was not theirs to take. I return that, I reclaim that, and I invoke the precious blood of Jesus to wash over me and to wash over them, and all of our loved ones. Protect us from any retaliating spirits, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.”

What is an unhealthy soul-tie?

A soul tie is often referred to as a deep emotional and spiritual connection between people or animals. This connection can form through various means, such as close relationships, sexual relationships, intense emotional bonds, or by acting in conjunction with another person. When they are unhealthy, they can wreak havoc on your emotional and spiritual well being.

• Sinful Relationships: Relationships formed through sin (such as adultery, fornication, pornography) can create unhealthy spiritual and emotional bonds. The Church encourages confession and repentance to break these bonds.

• Manipulative or Abusive Relationships: Relationships where one person has unhealthy control or influence over another, leading to emotional or spiritual harm, can be seen as unhealthy soul ties. This is especially the case with narcissistic abuse. The Church advocates for healing and breaking free from such ties through prayer, sacraments, and possibly counseling.
