Soul loss is a condition that can occur due to traumatic events, distressing life experiences, and certain relationship dynamics, leading to a fragmentation and separation of pieces of the soul. If you have some of the following symptoms that simply aren’t responding to other forms of treatment, soul loss may play a significant role in your experience. While soul loss may only be one factor in these symptoms, it can be a powerful and hidden element. In some cases, these symptoms shift dramatically, overnight following a soul retrieval. In other cases, other forms of healing and support start to get considerably more traction after resolving the underlying issue of soul loss.
The human spirit is a highly complex system, that can break down in complicated and subtle ways. The wide variety of ways we use our access to free choice combined with the tendency to have different parts of ourselves working at cross purposes can trip us up on finding a path to be free of these symptoms. When I do soul retrieval, I pair the work with insight from the guides and other forms of shamanic healing to provide additional insight and healing for these issues.

Recognizing the symptoms of soul loss is helpful for seeking appropriate healing and restoring wholeness. Here is a list of common soul loss symptoms.
Common Soul Loss Symptoms
- Fatigue (including Chronic Fatigue)
- One of the most prevalent soul loss symptoms is fatigue, where individuals feel persistently drained despite adequate rest.
- Depression
- Persistent feelings of sadness or depression, often without a clear cause, can indicate soul loss.
- Anxiety
- Experiencing frequent anxiety or panic attacks, may be a symptom. Without the full resources of our soul, we can feel extra vulnerable in life.
- Memory Lapses
- Difficulty remembering significant parts of one’s life, or experiencing memory lapses, can be one of the symptoms of soul loss. When the soul part leaves, it often takes the memory of the trauma with it.
- Feeling Incomplete
- A pervasive sense of incompleteness or feeling like a part of oneself is missing is a key indicator of soul loss.
- Emotional Numbness
- An inability to feel emotions fully, resulting in a sense of detachment or emotional numbness, is another common symptom of soul loss.
- Lack of Enthusiasm
- A loss of enthusiasm for activities and interests that once brought joy can be a sign of soul loss. My clients also describe this as a lack of passion for live.
- Difficulty in Relationships
- Struggling to form or maintain meaningful relationships may be linked to soul loss symptoms. People with significant soul loss are more vulnerable to missing or ignoring red flags and getting involved in unhealthy relationships. In providing soul retrieval for over 24 years, I’ve noted a huge correlation between large amounts of soul loss and those who have been the victims of abuse in their romantic relationships.
- Addictive Behaviors
- Engaging in addictive behaviors, such as substance abuse or compulsive activities, can be an attempt to fill the void left by soul loss.
- Chronic Illness
- Unexplained or chronic physical illnesses may also be manifestations of soul loss or exacerbated by soul loss.
- Vulnerability to Mishaps and Accidents
- Increased susceptibility to accidents or frequent mishaps can be a symptom, as a fragmented soul may lead to a lack of grounding and presence.
Seeking Healing
Recognizing these soul loss symptoms is the first step toward healing. Soul retrieval, a shamanic healing practice, aims to restore the lost parts of the soul, promoting overall well-being and restoring balance.
