Trusting Yourself: Intuition vs. Trauma Responses with Elizabeth Kupferman
“If you listen, I have yet to not find an answer.”
Ever struggled to tell if your gut feeling is genuine intuition or just a trauma response? In this episode of 'Ask An Advanced Bitch', Elizabeth Kupferman tackles this tricky question head-on. She starts off by sharing her personal journey of trying to establish a sustainable sleeping routine—something many of us can relate to. Then, she dives into a listener's question about trusting her inner voice in relationships, especially when past experiences of abandonment and neglect cloud her judgment.
Elizabeth breaks down the concept of defense mechanisms, explaining how they’re your body’s way of protecting you based on past traumas. But she doesn’t stop there. She offers practical tools to help you make intentional choices, so your decisions come from a place of clarity rather than fear. Elizabeth also touches on the cult of NXIVM and how making eye contact can help ease social anxiety.
Whether you're grappling with CPTSD, codependency, or just trying to figure out your next move, this episode is packed with no-nonsense advice and a healthy dose of dark humor. If you're ready for some real talk on healing and self-trust, give this episode a listen.
