Sabine reveals she no longer trusts people and feels they will hurt her, prompting a deep exploration.
The episode features a session between host Edwin Selij and guest Sabine, who opens by stating she no longer trusts people due to a fear they will hurt her. Sabine explains this distrust affects many people in her life, not just strangers. She shares a specific example where she lost her job after trusting a coworker who later used her confidences against her. The host probes her experiences, asking about the number of people involved and how trust manifests in daily interactions. Sabine mentions having ADHD, which she feels complicates her ability to withhold information. The host introduces the concept of the gut as a 'second brain,' with 100 million cells and intelligence comparable to a cat's brain, to explain intuitive feelings. They discuss how Sabine often ignores these gut feelings, leading to negative outcomes. The host contrasts two extremes: trusting everyone, which Sabine has done, and trusting no one, which she now leans toward, arguing both are flawed. He shares personal anecdotes, like leaving a bar due to a bad feeling, to illustrate trusting intuition. The conversation touches on themes of friendship, with Sabine noting she has only one close person and a therapist. The host advises learning to trust the gut through practice, suggesting that if a feeling arises three times, it indicates a pattern. He references figures like Osjo to emphasize that the mind should serve, not master, intuition. They explore why people might trust those who trigger bad feelings, speculating it could be to prove the gut wrong. The host uses metaphors like triangles and squares to explain that incompatibility doesn't make someone bad, just not a fit. Sabine reflects on past relationships where people she couldn't trust were great for others. By the end, Sabine reports feeling better in her stomach and commits to trusting her intuition more, without sharing everything with everyone. The session concludes with mutual thanks and a call to subscribe.
