Friendly Fire is a term used in energy work when a person was damaged energetically (sustained energy body injuries which in turn caused negative emotions) not because of what a perpetrator did, but what a loved one or someone who was on their side did broadcast.

For example, when a child comes home from school and tells a parent that they have been bullied, the parent can become enraged - not at the child, obviously, but at the bullies.

However, the child receives the incoming energy, the friendly fire, as though the parent was enraged AT THEM.

This can lead to very disturbing symptoms that are not cured by dealing with the emotional scars of the ORIGINAL attack as the friendly fire is a separate injury and a whole different system altogether.
