I am a clinically trained psychologist and a somatic therapist. I literally lead trauma trainings on following your gut. His type of training of ignoring your gut, and using the head, is perhaps effective in the field, but disembodies the self, separates the mind and body process. It creates the process loop in the cycle where the brain is always used to control emotions. What happens when the brain is taxed (multiple layers of stress - children, business, or physical injury or illness) beyond it's ability to control is that they cannot disembody their own painful emotions anymore, and all the pain he's repressed FLOODS back to the system and creates severe depression. This kind of training is exactly why soldiers have high alcoholism and suicide rates. I would HIGHLY NOT recommend this.

[@englandbengal]

He is saying to use it in business not real life.

[@user-mt4zr5kp7h]

As far as I'm concerned, this guy still works for the CIA if he is teaching you not to trust your gut. If he's telling you to trust your mind and only your mind, then he is an operative. The reason I say that is because the mind can be controlled by entities outside of yourself. Your instincts, your intuition, cannot. Your thoughts can lie to you. Your gut never will.

[@cptlou]

yes. Agree.

[@uiliumpowell4684]

You have a heart and mind laying around, you might as well use both. Governments don't need secrets, they need transparency especially when we go out to vote. It seems that everyone ignores this for some strange reason and just puts their votes into machines as if that is transparent or something.

As a military contractor I know a lie but from a person who has been indoctrinated it's difficult to see. Signs of mania can stress the comprehension as well so it's overall a very difficult trait to read in those types. The way that I work is what do your lips say before you speak or act? That's one of my ways and also the fall and rise of the vocal train. Are you confident or are you not so sure... Things like that. Mental dysfunction throws all that out the window again. I dislike it when people use their hands alot because it's a method of brainwashing. I do this a lot because of training but I often feel like I'm an oppressive person when I notice people feel confident in me. In actuality I'm not in the know of the lobbyists interests though I was a tool of their interests. All Americans are.

[@Karina_ES_aus]

I think some people are misunderstanding what Andrew said about his gut. From the profile he mentioned of the people recruited by the CIA, he himself probably exhibits sociopathic traits and suffers from anxiety (many people with ASPD have anxiety or paranoid disorders). So, he probably thinks "the gut" refers to all those intrusive and sudden negative thoughts that come to mind (like "this person is going to hurt me," "something is going to happen," or "this person is going to attack me"). These thoughts are usually a protective mechanism of the brain in response to trauma or subconscious "learnings" from past experiences through negative reinforcement. These thoughts can be right, or they can be wrong; it’s subjective. They are not always correct, even though some people believe they are. This is something really important to learn specially for people with Anxiety. I think this is what Andrew meant when he talked about the gut. However, it's important to validate the feelings and physical sensations of the body in response to a situation, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Usually, the answer lies within our history and past experiences rather than in external factors.

Animal instinct. It's how we survive in the jungle. What he's calling 'perspective' is just a fancy word for what we usually call 'over thinking'. Thinking over your natural instincts leads to things going from bad to worse.

[@jenniferlynn3537]

This wasn’t a presentation on safety. You completely misunderstood the context in which this discussion occurred. ALL statements were within the context of business, and how to make good decisions to amplify profitability: The message was to expand your perspective beyond your own perception in order to maximize opportunity and financial gain. Re: the advisory that trusting one’s gut isn’t a reliable way to make decisions: That statement was NOT meant to suggest that one replace those instincts which help us to survive. Rather, the point was that people should avoid relying on emotion in decision making, because it obscures objectivity. An example was even given of the over-zealous salesman who failed to prioritize clients whose had the potential to provide greater rewards - either through higher volume of purchases, notoriety which increased the profile of one’s company, or referral of new customers. You related your personal experience to support your perception that failure to trust one’s gut is bad advice. You’ve proven the very point made here: People who react emotionally lack the ability to assess events objectivity, to acquire facts, and to learn from the information available to them - because they’re locked into their perceptions of the world.

[@benjaminw5274]

I think this is an issue of semantics. As a person trying more and more to listen to my "gut", I think his version of "gut" is more emotions, as he kept using them interchangeably. I think if you used the word "soul" or "inner being" or something of the sort instead of gut he might agree. I definitely agree that my first rate emotions are something I have to filter, and truly tap into my deeper self to get the true answer I'm looking for

There is a big difference in listening to your "gut" and having an emotional reaction to a situation. My gut has never led me wrong, but I did have to learn the difference between the two and how NOT to respond emotionally to any situation I was in. And that does require you train yourself NOT to re-act but to stop and quickly assess the situation BEFORE you respond, rather than allowing yourself to have an emotion driven "knee jerk" reaction.

Your "gut" is your subconscious coalescing all the information your sensory system inputs in real-time. It's a super computer that takes all the input you aren't consciously aware of and spits out a flag after instantly comparing all the input data to previous case-studies stored in your long term memory. It's an incredible system if it was trained correctly like machine learning. It's your best friend, because it's always invested in your immediate survival. What this guy should have said, is you should identify your gut feeling, than ask yourself questions that either concur that thesis, or disproves it, not ignore it entirely. The real lesson here is don't listen to guys that look like Krusty the Clown because they'll try to convince you it's "The, Bart The", instead of "Die, Bart, Die".

As I aged I slowly realized that the first thing out of peoples mouths could be lies and that everyone does not have your best interest at heart. this was a hard lesson for me to learn and accept.

I think a lot of people in the comments pushing back on "don't trust your gut" are missing the context or nuance of what he was getting at... My interpretation of him saying 'allow yourself to have those gut emotions but then use your rational objective perspective to make an informed decision' is more about not letting your emotions run away from you and take control. Emotions are important for sending our brain signals, but they can also deceive our reality. So train yourself to use that gut feeling in a positive manner instead of negative, not to suppress or ignore it all together.

A chilling example that hits close to home for me is the recent case of Agus Buntung in Indonesia, a man born without arms, who used manipulative tactics to sexually exploit 15 university students. It’s crazy how far these tactics can go, where someone can use charm and psychological influence to prey on vulnerable individuals, regardless of physical limitations. This is some next-level stuff, and while it’s unsettling, it’s incredibly important to understand how these mind games work.

My biological father has always lived within 30 minutes of me and has never made any effort to contact me (talk about effing with a kid's head). As an adult, I could have played a victim selling out and expecting a handout since I grew up extremely poor, but fortunately, the tough love that my, aunt and grandma gave me taught me to become a self-sufficient, quality human being who makes a contribution through hard work. I am very grateful that my mom taught me how to not be a victim of circumstances. It's because of this reason that I've created my own success in life.

Current is always better. Hence why children are often less loved than her lover given the requisite provision/ protection/ position. (Money/ power/ status)

Not even evil things. I'm Christian. And there's nowhere in Scripture that says trust your emotions. Emotions are, in fact, the biggest liar. In the Old Testament God repeatedly talks about using reason (Genesis, Exodus, Jonah, etc.) and applying knowledge. In the New Testament we're told to guard our hearts because through it come all life's suffering. Depending on your denomination (eg. Orthodox or Roman Catholic) reason and logic are integral parts of the cathechesis. Emotions are nice. They provide a sense of reward when we do well or pleasure when we're in comfortable circumstances. But they're easy to manipulate. We're supposed to rule them with our head; not the other way around. Be well. Stay blessed.

Remember, the difference between gut and intuition is that your gut feeling is more of a physical sensation or instinctive reaction, while intuition is more of a deep knowing or inner guidance. Gut feelings are often based on past experiences and can be influenced by emotions, while intuition is more of a subtle inner knowing that comes from a place of wisdom.

I agree with the fact that trusting your gut is sometimes a wrong idea. But there are many cases where you have to believe it. Rational reason and your gut must work together.

Intuition is a sense, a knowing, an inner voice or from beyond. Sometimes you actually hear a voice. It involves feeling, but it runs deeper than our emotions. That’s why sometimes we wrestle with our heart and logic and go against our intuition… For example, the last time my mom visited my brother she felt and just knew it would be the last time she’d see him… But she had a flight to catch and told herself she was just emotional and worried and her mind was playing tricks on her… She now lives with wishing she’d have listened to her intuition and stayed, because she was right.

Idk why they call it gut. I think of it more of a thought that’s almost a worry of what is about to happen in the future. Or atleast for me. Get a super uneasy feeling as if something isn’t right and then thoughts of whatever it was that ended up happening. Like in the military I had these feelings before all hell broke looses and was in a really bad wreck and the entire drive had a super uneasy feeling that I was going to be in a wreck until we came up on a wreck and stopped both lanes and then I felt as if it was maybe just that until the sound of a horn then was rearended in my semi pulling over sized by another semi, or last year when we had a intruder that started pulling a handgun on me and having to use deadly force against him. Maybe I’m crazy idk but the closest I’ve ever felt to god was while at war with rounds going over head and hitting all around me and that wreck and the intruder incident . Because everything slows down and millions of things go through your mind at one time in acouple seconds but it’s as if it’s one second is slowed to your entire life time day by day and it’s as you miss nothing and understand clearer then you ever have but you have no worry or more of coming to peace with the out come and you pray that your family will be okay and handle the loss.

It's always best when your mind, heart and intuition are ALL on par. Sometimes our mind plays tricks on us too- telling us to doubt our intuition by explaining away our immediate gut reactions. But it's there for a _reason._ Oh, and our intuitions have nothing to do w/bias- it's that subtle vibrational feeling you feel about something you pick up in your environment. Strong intuitive readings are best felt when we leave judgement and bias out the door, and listen, really listen, not just words only but vibrations behind every word, meaning, and actions--which ALWAYS guides you to determining intent!

I would still hope that America has the greatest freedoms in the world, but look how far we've fallen since 2020; you sure could be right. Who knows. Working in corporate America for 15+ years, you are absolutely right in saying that most people don't want to wake up, do the hard things, and ask the tough questions.

I like how he used what might otherwise be a deficit to his advantage and built a career around it. I went in another direction and regret it. Sometimes I wish I had just leaned into the anxiety, fear, lack of trust in humans I was raised with and stopped trying to fight it.

[@Gunth0r]

Your fear response keeps you alive, if you have the right one at the right time. Anxiety isn't a fear response. It is the emotion in ANTICIPATION of potential traumatizing events and is more often than not unwarranted and keeps you from dealing with your environment as it is NOW. Therefore, anxiety is something that should be treated with therapy (or meds, but I'm not a fan of suppressing emotion with meds) or by your own self-reflection and self-realignment. I'm not an expert by any means, but I believe anxiety is a natural state for mammals who don't have to deal with any life-threatening problems or predators but make stress hormones and other hormones anyway. This is why anxiety is easily managed by regular exercise, a proper diet and some meditation on what's actually troubling you. Traumatic experiences exacerbate the issue and might be why you tricked yourself into anticipating traumatic events, so you'd be prepared. But anxiety doesn't prepare you, it paralyzes you. This is why I suggest therapy instead of glorifying your symptoms and treating it like a superpower. Another cause for anxiety, which should not be neglected, is guilt. Guilt over having made wrong choices or by just being lazy. Solve those and the anxiety goes away.

[@robinharris4247]

I heard this on Joe Rogan once as they talked about how anxiety is what causes you to prepare and be aware. He said every single MMA fighter is very anxious before they get into the ring. It is why they prepare like they do. If you don't have anxiety it is dangerous for you.
