Is it Trauma or is it Intuition?

"Alex, is this feeling trauma or intuition?"

A client asked me this question recently. Because it's so relatable for all of us, here is some insight you can use to discern if the gut feeling you're having is truth or not.

* A trauma response will always lead you into the darkness; intuition will always lead you into the light.*

For example, say you breakup with someone. At some point after the breakup, there is usually a gut response to reconnect with this person.

When that gut response hits...ask yourself "Is this leading me into the light to reconnect or is it a step backwards and just going to create further chaos?" aka "Does this help me to grow or not so much?" Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes the answer is no.

Another way you can look at trauma vs. intuition is to first think about the fruit (aka result) your action will bare. Does taking action on this gut feeling lead me to good fruit? Or does taking action on this gut feeling lead me to old patterns?
