Hi...New here...don't want to make you wrong...and...
No...I don't believe that there's nothing we can do. This happened to me as a child. Part of the reason I am a reluctant medium. I was slapped, among other things. We are made of the same stuff they are. Energy. If they can use it, then so can we. We just don't know how yet. I think part of what makes it so scary and difficult is that it's usually invisible to the naked eye. If we saw it coming we could more likely avoid it just like another human throwing a punch. Ok, well, maybe not us girls...lol. So, for me it comes down to protection. Energy fields. Just doing it the right way. And going further, we throw energy all the time. Every time we call someone an idiot in traffic we are throwing energy to some degree. But some sort of a constant flow outward. Hey, I have been, fairly successfully, keeping them away for almost 40 years and still managing to read on a psychic level. But now my walls are falling and I need to get it all figured out because I have a gifted child to guide and I can't keep running away from it. So I'm motivated. I don't taunt and challenge, but a steady outward flow of, "I'll respect you and you keep your distance" doesn't hurt to start. Perhaps with all this techy stuff they're coming up with, they'll develop something that can help in this area. At any rate, sorry that happened to you. It always scrambles your eggs.
