There is a lot of controversy about intuition: someone says that success in life is impossible without it, someone denies it, saying that "everything can be explained."
Our consciousness consists of two parts:
- visible (which we can understand and "touch")
- unconscious (something mystical, incomprehensible and poorly amenable to explanation, although many psychologists and researchers say that most of the unconscious is processed material from the visible part of our psyche, which has been simplified and put into automatic mode for the convenience of functioning).
The phenomenon of intuition is associated with the unconscious part of our psyche.
How does our unconscious work?
(1) based on built-in defense mechanisms and psychic defenses. For example, we are more positive about what we encounter more than once if there was no traumatic story associated with the subject / person. Or we always finish building a picture of the world based on past experience (he is smart and cool because … in a good suit and modest). Or we unconsciously mirror the postures / gestures of others when we want to enter some kind of society.
(2) on the basis of adult experience / developed habits that have been brought to automatism. We do not need to think for a long time when we recognize vivid emotions: anger, fear, aggression. We immediately understand that this is what a person is experiencing and react to them.
(3) based on childhood attitudes. During the first 2-3 years of life, we learn so much that it becomes the most intense period in our life, then our consciousness “archaizes” the received information and translates it into a category built into us.
Who is he - possessing intuition?
- A person who had caring, adoptive parents who invested in him in the first years of life and taught him to identify feelings, emotions, talked a lot about the world around him (a necessary condition - parents themselves should be "advanced" and versatile)
- A person who reads a lot, studies, analyzes, processes, and always tries something new - in fact, he gains additional "experience", which eventually puts in the baggage of the unconscious and which is then used
- An empath who trains, develops all the senses and from this, from any situation, receives more information and it is easier for him to make the best choice in his actions
Research questions:
- how do you rate your intuition on a 10-point scale, where 10 is the maximum?
- remember the situation when you used your intuitive abilities to the maximum? what was that story? how did the plot develop? how did you feel the voice of intuition? why did you decide to believe him? what factors influenced you? what thoughts were about your decision? what arguments outweighed?
- What attitudes about yourself or your intuition did you find in the story in the previous paragraph?
- do these attitudes help or hinder you from developing your intuition now?

Codependency: “I Do Everything To Make Him Feel Good, I Can’t Deny Him Anything”
A fragment from my book "What do we confuse love with, or is it Love". In itself, the desire to do something pleasant for a loved one is wonderful. If a number of conditions are met: For a loved one, this is really good. That is, it does not come from the position “I know what is best for him,” but there really is reason to believe that it is good for him now.
Ask-thank-deny
Part 1. Do you know how to ask? How do you ask? Do you ask directly or do you wait for others to figure out what you need? And then, like a baby in a crib, you choke on your rage at the fact that others did not guess (mom did not come to the crib).
