Über diesen Titel

Many of us were taught to look outside ourselves for answers—to seek approval, guidance, or certainty from authority, faith, or fear. Over time, this can make it hard to know the difference between intuition, discernment, and a trauma-driven threat response.In this episode of Raised on Shame, we explore how trauma and shame-based systems can rewire intuition, often training people out of trusting their own bodies and instincts. We talk about why phrases like “pray about it” or “don’t trust your heart” can unintentionally disrupt self-trust, especially in high-control or faith-based environments.Together, we cover:The difference between intuition, discernment, and hypervigilance (without jargon)How trauma shifts decision-making from inner knowing to survivalWhy urgency is often a clue that fear—not intuition—is leadingHow self-trust is rebuilt slowly after shame-based controlA simple body-based practice for mapping intuition versus fearThis episode is not about telling you what decisions to make. It’s about helping you notice how your body learned to make them—and how that process can gently change.As you listen this week, notice:How does your body signal fear?How does it signal safety?There’s no need to act on what you notice. Awareness is enough.This episode discusses trauma, shame, and high-control systems in a non-graphic, trauma-informed way.Practice Content NoteThis episode discusses trauma, shame, and high-control systems in a non-graphic, trauma-informed way.ResourcesBooksHealing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors by Janina FisherThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkWaking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Book by Peter A.
