This call is about understanding intuition and how living with uncertainty as a child can cause us to not trust this voice once we find it. Erica grew up without stability or support in her childhood home and today is uncomfortable and anxious when she is in uncertainty because as a child she was afraid of what might happen. She has learned to hide her pain and is scared of being vulnerable. Her avoidance trap is avoiding feeling her pain and it is keeping her stuck. She has done a lot of work around this issue by ways of uplifting retreats, yoga and therapy, yet she hasn’t yet stepped into the hard emotions and really dealt with them. This avoidance is stopping her from truly connecting to her intuition. Our power comes from being vulnerable and allowing ourselves to feel. When Erica connects with her intuition she is able to find the answers she is searching for and can make her decision feeling confident and empowered.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

Do you doubt your intuition and what it is telling you?

Did you grow up in a family with a lot of chaos and uncertainty?

Is there a decision you are struggling with and really want to know what to do?

How do you relate to your pain?

Erica’s Question:

Erica is struggling to make a decision and wants to know how to hear and trust her inner voice to know how to move forward. However, she is very much in her head, going backwards and forwards, continually going over things and not able to make up her mind about what to do to the point that it is paralyzing her.

Erica’s Key Insights and Ahas:

She is afraid of being vulnerable.

She doesn’t want to go into the pain as she thinks she won’t be able to handle it.

Her intuition knows what is best for her.

How to Get One It and On With it:

Find a somatic therapist and get in touch with her emotions and her pain.

Allow herself to be vulnerable and trust.

This is very powerful Christine. I could literally feel the opening of my own heart when you put out the second option. It's been a year I guess. Hope she is thriving.

This was a great episode !! I've suppressed my feelings due to childhood trauma. I choose to remove the blocks. Thank you I know you are trying to protect me. I want the walls to come down. I avoid showing what I really feel and want to say. I withhold in order to protect myself. If I show the affection, smile, compliment, congratulatory gesture, and love, you will abuse it, you won’t take me serious, you will invalidate me, make me feel small, it won’t be well received, I will look like a fool, I will be embarrassed. It’s okay to be seen and heard. Thank you, Christine!

I have had questions on intuition and hadn't found much help, the hell yes thing and " You can’t choose to block off pain and not also block of intuition and creativity, they are a package deal" were especially insightful. I struggle with indecision too, and applied these questions to myself. I loved the three scenarios, I had just been pressuring myself into going faster lately, and just today I was thinking I had previously freed myself from timelines why am I here again. I will keep working on my foundation and getting things ready for when the time feels like a hell yes. I had been looking for my new growth quarterly goals, and with this help I feel I can make intuition one of them.

I had to cry the years of tears too .... spent a lot of time on the floor curled up in the foetal position. I too am a highly sensitive person. I can read other people like a book now that I'm in touch with my emotions and the true self

I was in the same position, I went and studied Psychology, I wish someone suggested the 2nd option to me before I started...

Good explanation of the thought process. And yes there is a block to release for guys, a man block. Do you think men need to have times for them where they can cry? And how is that Expressed?
@lindyhop9739 2 years ago

Christine, I admire and respect your work. As I live in Germany, I won't be able to work with you in person but would love to have your guidance on what kind of somatic work you'd suggest, suited to a similar profile as Erica's. As in emotional release etc.
@lindyhop9739 1 year ago

I am curious to hear about how Erica has been and how she evolved since. If you, Erica, read this and would like to share, that would be lovely, as I have a similar story. And might help other avid readers, too.

You were talking about voice, but the sound is crackly electrical sounds like my phone was for years x I had to wait as they were v buisy 9 to 5 ,x passed on x On. Then cut off so of course I've felt let down, ESPECIALLY PROMISES OF JOBS X BOSSES IMPRESSED WITH MY WORK WHILST TRAINING, x promised a good Job, and told about the many others they helped get great jobs. Till I met them x congratulated them! X they all said what job? Who told you that?. X some got loans to train for jobs that don't exist thease days they all feel let down, so lets not promise. X make an effort to turn up.when we say we will! That is why I'm devorced!. Please get better sound that dosnt hert my ears, I dont know what you said because I couldn't get sound right!. X wanted to know what you said.
