In this episode of Psychic Sunday I tackle a huuuuuuge and sensitive topic: Trauma.
Trauma affects the intuition. There are many people who become very intuitive because of trauma and many people whose intuition will go silent after trauma.
There are *many* different types of trauma… in this episode, I’ll cover emotional and physical trauma.
Please note that this IS a sensitive subject and everyone experiences trauma differently.
I am making wide sweeping generalizations in order to break down what I see happen most commonly – I am certainly not trying to comment on each and every individual case. This is also NOT a replacement for proper healing through therapy, counseling (spiritual or otherwise) or any other healing modality that is appropriate for you.
That said, there are a few actions that will help you get back in the driver’s seat with your intuition in tact.
If you’ve been through trauma, watch this and take only what resonates. 🙂
In the comments, I’d love to hear from you.
If you’ve been through something traumatic, how did you re-balance your intuition afterward? This community has wonderful resources, so feel free to share yours (but  no pitches, please 😉 )

Love this video ! Thank you !
I resonate a lot with the physical trauma -the unstable root chakra ( I have problems with abundance, money, since the onset of a physical illness also with the physical security, body posture – stability, vertige). Also I can very much imagine that my unconscious seeking for danger -this is perhaps why I started to attrack physical dangerious situations. I notice when learning to observe my mind how it goes into ” you must do it, protect, right now, fast, fast, run, fight, danger ! ” It is almost like someobody wants to kill me and I must save myself . Any physical danger is the turn on of the PTDS symptoms, like my stability and body safety has gone and I float or fall somewhere.
I am not sure whether my intution is increased (I guess that I have also the emotional trauma -I have a mix), however I noticed since my illness showed up that I can recognise in some situations a danger (I would have not cared about before) -e.g. I am being guided to recognise in health care providers whether they would be competent to help, whether they want to do their job, or if there is a lie or whatever that can put me in danger of no help, even damaged (as my physical trauma started ones with medical mistake and reclesness). I live in a country where the health care changes so much to the worst past decade ..and I did not see that, but the danger was there already. Today, I would see the danger “coming”.
When I have the chance to confirm the intuition, it mainly never sucks. I smell the “danger”. The thing is that also the health care providers in my country (not very professional) smell that ” I might be a difficult patients, knows too much, wants to much) and then, they back up…which means I get no help, but on the whole, I would have gotten anyway no good help, so it is better for me on the whole- when I know why I do it and what I do that it is ok in this way.
It totaly relates to my impression that I can find pretty easily the worst in people (my unconscious scans automatically for “mistakes or some gaps in the system=danger”) -however, I learn to recognise ” danger for me” vs being human (=not always perfect -which is normal, but to my dangered fear mind it is not).
The dangerous situations I attracted past 4 years were really no fun (severe illness, even acute state with no help, I thought I´d die alone somewhere abroad, nobody finding even my body in the not so nice, dark room, unnecessary death, job, money loss. Always the feeling that I am not important to the doctors. I could have not believed how I got there, like I´d experience the empoverishment and evil, reclessness of the world).
I´d really like to stop it. Maybe better staying alive and die in a peaceful way when the right time comes, not prematurely (my goal).
It makes sense to me now that the “low vibrational entities tend to be attracted to me”. I often thought “they are reflections of mine”, so I must be like them, I am a bad person. But it does not fit to me. This thinking keeps me stuck (interconnected with the emotional trauma).
My second trauma is the emotional one -solar plexus chakra, probably also the throat chakra:
I question myself all the time.I don´t trust myself, I don´t trust the Universe much.
In this area, my intuition has gone.
So, I have an increase of intution in “physical danger ” since the disease showed up and decrease in everything else (at least since I was 10), low vibration anyway (looking for danger outside, looking for why I am a bad person – I can relate: it makes sense why I do attract dangerous situations and “bad “=dangerous people like some of the narcissistic spectrum, and I searched for problems within myself). My unconscious matches with this vibration (although I did not decided to be that way). Interestingly, it did not impacted my life until I was some 27. It was activated by the death of my grandmother -also my abuser (which I did not know that time). Until that time, I thought I had an awesome life.
Erin-Ashley, if there is the trauma (physical one), one needs better to try to heal it first, and just then work on the intution, the vibrations ? Don´t rock the boat too soon ? Do things very slow ?
I experience the physical trauma as a real ordeal, loss of safety, direct highway to death -thus, it is difficult to work on anything else in that time ?
The more I do some research about trauma, the more I am afraid that it cannot be healed ( some resources say), some do say it takes decades…I am starting to be afraid that I will be caught up here forever. So far, I have not found any appropriate help in the therapy ( no providers in my area -perhaps also part of me attracting the non-fun situations), I only approach it in a better way now, when I know that yes, I had been traumatised and I must take it seriously and look for help in there.
I like the gratitude practise – I tried it already several times, but I hold it only for max. 2 weeks. Is there eventually any other practise about gratitude, except the journaling, to start up ? Something easier ?
I feel resistance towards “gratitude” on regular basis. I remember that I did not have this resistance as a child, I prayed and thanked God every day. Unpossible today. It feels like heavy burden. I must force myself. I sometimes manage to be grateful before I start to eat, or feel grateful for the feeling in the body that it is safe right now (touch of water…life in the body)…but this happens irregularly and I cannot make myself to do it on a regular basis, I forget.
I love to hear that forgiveness is about my own freedom !
Not sure how to get there…
I have not delt with forgiveness much, because I understood it as making “it was ok what happened”, eventually I jump into ” I should have protected myself better, it was my fault…” -and I get stuck in here. I am also afraid that I would have to be involved with them again if I forgave them, because they ´d want to be around me, stick to me and I have not good boundaries …and the hurt would continue.
I imagined to forgive when I was having very bad symptoms and physical suffering from a severe infection – it came to my mind that the people that hurt me have some similar experience in their minds, but they compensate it (on me ?) or whatever..and I really wanted to let it go, let my anger at them go, when they suffered so much, kind of compassion for them. However, it was a trade: I did it mainly in order to die in peace myself (taking the resentment and hate to the grave does not feel that good) or to trade “me letting them go, like letting escape a criminal from justice, and receiving instead my own personal benefit- lessuring of my pain” (actually it sounds to me like corruption and breaking some society rule for my personal benefit). Maybe it felt like an “offer” from God, Universe : if you let them go and will give the justice to decide who is a jerk or not to me, I will make you less suffer” Yet, often, when I get better (thanks God, anyway :- ) ), I lose these momentums and take the “justice” again in my hands. Is it like I am playing God -knowing the rules of justice, who to punish etc, me thinking that the rules of God are bad …it put me in so much suffering, so I must redo it and take the justice in my own hands, I cannot rely on God, Universe ? I cannot trust it -its rules are ridiculous, stupid, where is the justice ? I have better rules ! I think it used to be a sin to “judge Universe´s rules”.
Great little video. However, I didn’t experience what this video described. On May 2nd my car decided it wanted to act up. I had gotten home from work, got out of my car to take a few things before I brought my daughter inside. I left the car on so she could have the a.c.. I got back to my car and took my keys out of the ignition. All of a sudden my car decides it wants to roll down my driveway in park. Before this accident things started to look up in our lives. My husband had a better job, while I still maintained a couple jobs to try and get ahead. So here I am faced with my car rolling down my driveway with my baby still inside. I was at an awkward angle couldn’t get into the car to apply to break, so I did my best to try and slow the car down. Well I stopped the car. In my efforts to slow down my car I had fell face first on the ground and my drivers side door laid to rest across my butt. Pinned to the ground face down with my phone underneath me I did what I could only do. I yelled for help. Getting pretty stressed I yelled my heart out. Finally, after what seemed to be eternity, a man heard my cry for help. Flagged other people down as well. The good Samaritans got my car off me. I rolled over only to realize I cannot get up. Thankfully my neighbor was there to get my daughter who was unharmed by all this. I ended up with a broken and dislocated hip which I needed surgery to repair. My angels, guides, the powers that be were there for me that day. After being laid up for 3.5 mos I felt free. I had such a control over everything from sitters and schedules and our finances, that during this time I found a lesson in it all. I don’t find resentment or anger, but I am completely happy. I feel like my sensitivity to others is a little muted, their emotions don’t come on as strong, and I’m ok with that too. I took my physical trauma more as a blessing and a message.
