Episode 8: Intuition- You Were Right and You Knew It

Intuition. You know that time that you knew that something was off? You were right and your body knew it.

*This episode is appropriate for anyone with a loved one who struggles with addiction. This includes alcoholism, drug abuse, gambling addiction and more.

Let’s explore together about what intuition is and how to cultivate it.

When I first began recovery from sexual betrayal, I would only make boundaries based on what I could prove. I have a dear recovery friend who taught me that betrayal trauma recovery becomes richer when we can make boundaries based on our gut instinct, or intuition. She was right and learning to do that drastically changed my life.

The trick is that when addiction, sex addiction, porn addiction, etc is involved, we likely don’t have all of the facts. That’s where intuition comes in.

While boundaries help protect us, when we are better in tune with our gut, we can make better boundaries. In fact, we can get to the point where we make boundaries that aren't based on what we see or hear for the most part. We can make them based on gut instinct.

In this podcast, we will discuss 5 principles to strengthen gut intuition.
