Decording emotional ties:

Psychic (emotional) cords are condensed, tubel ike energy forms with which you bond or exchange energy with another person.
There is both healthy and unhealthy use of cords.  Unhealthy cords can drain your energy, dump other people’s pain, pictures and emotions into your body for you to process, control you in any number of unconscious ways (such as guilt, fear of loss thoughts.) and keep you stuck in patterns such as low self-esteem or have to learn to love through sacrifice...
If you have someone else in whose presence you always feel drained or whose emotions you always feel inside yourself, it is a good indication that you have an unhealthy cord with that person.

 Symptoms of emotional cords:

1.     A lack of energy or vitality which does not respond to the usual remedies such as a change in diet or increased vitamin intake, and is not the result of emotional circumstances. (i.e. you are not depressed due to a loss or separation)
2. Constant thoughts about someone.
3. Feeling drained after a conversation or a meeting with a particular person.
4. An inability to resolve the past and to live in the present.
5. A lack of clarity regarding your life's purpose.
6. Feeling un-centred or "not yourself."
