Why Highly Intuitive People Stop Trusting Themselves

Episode 110: Why Highly Intuitive People Stop Trusting Themselves: Returning to intuition after grief, trauma & self-doubt

I had an intuitive knowing my Dad was going to leave this earth before the Doctor’s did.

This episode is the story of that knowing and the years of work it took to even HEAR that “knowing” let alone trust it again.

If you’ve ever felt something that couldn’t be explained but you’ve found it difficult to trust that knowing in a logical world…..this episode is for you.

  • Why intuition often gets dismissed in highly logical or professional environments

  • The difference between intuition, fear, anxiety, and trauma responses

  • How narcissistic or emotionally invalidating relationships disconnect us from our inner knowing

  • Caitlan’s deeply personal story of intuitively sensing her father’s illness and passing

  • The ways grief can heighten intuitive sensitivity and connection
