A psychic attack refers to a negative energetic intrusion sent, whether intentionally or unintentionally, from one person toward another, often described as draining, unsettling, or disruptive to the person experiencing it. It's generally distinguished from ordinary bad energy by its more targeted, persistent quality.

Someone who feels they're experiencing a psychic attack may seek protective practices, such as cleansing rituals, protective crystals, or grounding techniques, and some psychics specifically offer sessions focused on identifying and addressing this kind of energetic disruption.
