How strong is your intuition/discernment? And what was the last thing that you "saw"

Trauma bonds are common. Once the trauma heals for one of the participants, the relationship generally ends.

I think the narcist term is so overused that I am no longer sure of the meaning. I will say that during the 2016 election, I felt like he wanted to win for the sake of winning. I never thought he genuinely wanted to be the president; he's simply obsessed with winning.

Where in the post did you read this?

What made you change your view, PP?

"Trauma bonds" between people who've been hurt and have healed can actually be stronger and longer lived than relationships between "normal" people. Many of us who have lived through trauma and dealt with the fallout are the kindest, most empathetic, loyal and caring people you'll ever know. We know pain, which makes pleasure, happiness and joy all the more sweet.

I can tell if a sports coach is a good but tough coach or just an abusive a-hole within about an hour or much less sometimes minutes of watching them coach.

Unfortunately, I have talked myself out of this gut reaction in the past.

I am very intuitive but I don't think on it, I just know some things and trust my gut. I knew when my husband cheated on me. I had zero evidence, none at all, and it was totally out of character for him. But I just knew. And it took two days of him denying it before he ultimately came clean. I was able to confirm the information so no, he didn't admit to something he didn't do.

Most recently a friend's child had lost their wallet and it had been missing for a week or two. I was at their house and he was looking for it (again) and was going back over places he'd already looked. I told him to check his backpack, to dig really deep down to the bottom. And he found his wallet at the very bottom of his backpack. I just knew it would be there. Can't explain how. Sometimes it freaks people out when I get that feeling, and most feelings I just don't share with people for that reason.

I can tell when colleagues have a long game of undermining me or other colleagues, it's just pattern recognition I think. I don't know what to do about the behavior is the problem, I dislike using my energy and talents to fight petty battles.

I think pattern recognition plays a huge part in intuition, discernment, and synchronicity. Recognizing the patterns is half the battle.

I often misjudge people as kinder than they are, but I have an uncanny ability to know when someone is thinking of me. I usually get my “proof” in the form of a text or call, or someone will tell me that person was just talking about me. This skill appears to have very little utility, but it does have a downside. If someone is thinking of me, I think of them in return, even if it’s someone I’m better off not wasting emotional energy on.

I don't know if that's just a coincidence, but something wasn't right in the air.

I had this same feeling a few years ago. I was out with my kids on what I thought was a normal routine day, and I couldn’t shake that there was a shift in the air. I couldn’t explain it but in that moment I knew I was on my own with them. The next day my ex husband was found dead on the floor in his house. He was found on Monday, he died on Saturday, and I had the feeling on Sunday.

Not to alarm anyone but there’s a shift in the air now that I also can’t explain. I’ve felt it for a few months.

Do you have living parents? Start there.

I agree with this. The trauma bonds discussion is a bit of a tangent from intuition/discernment, but I brought it up because I feel like I intuitively made friends with people who were like me, even though in most cases I didn't know that we had trauma or neurodivergence in common, until a looong time later.

But I always thought "trauma bonds" were between the abuser and the abused, or possibly between siblings abused together. I didn't think of my friendships as trauma bonds. As far as I am concerned, they are not. We may have bonded over similar ways of looking at the world, but didn't talk about trauma. ... until we did.

If the relationship was only about the trauma experience in common, I get that the relationship could end upon healing. But I am talking about multi dimensional people (aren't we all?) With multi dimensional relationships. And any one person is going to be on a spectrum from "hurt" to "healed." I have been working on this a long time and not sure about the idea of being 100% healed. It's a journey, and you can meet the right, hurt/healed people along the way, that's how I feel.

NP. It isn't a matter of smart but rather a true 6th sense that you listen and heed. I have always had this and when I follow it then life is fine. If, however, I think that I want to do it my way, it can be a disaster.

Everybody has this to some degree. Find a quiet place, clear your head, meditate and see what happens.

Another NP, I agree. People have myriad tells and I just happen to be decent at spotting them and extrapolating.

Not judging but isn’t it just the case that you notice it when it goes right affirming your beliefs and ignore it when not the case?

That was pretty obvious, no?

I am a psychic and a medium. Sometimes it kinda sucks. Good or bad, my intuition is almost always perfect.
