Prism Model: Ego Centers and Reparenting
Olivia introduces the prism framework; Laura outlines how early ego centers form and how targeted reparenting rebuilds them.
Ep. 146 Is heightened intuition a gift or a trauma response? Why is it stronger for some than others, and what is the science behind why some people have 'psychic' abilities? Laura Day, world-renowned intuitive and bestselling author of Practical Intuition and her new book The Prism, is diving into why our unique childhood experiences & 'wounds' can determine the ways in which our intuition may express as an adult. Laura grew up in a chaotic home affected by suicide, manic depression, and narcissism, effectively raising her siblings alone, and is sharing how her beginning actually became the portal to discovering her intuitive gifts. She breaks down the important difference between intuition and wisdom, and why intuition can be both a superpower and a stumbling block depending on how we develop it.
HERE'S THE JUICE - Breaking down how she developed her gift for intuition through trauma, highlighting how many of our childhoods are prone to trauma due to lack of power - Laura shares her early life experiences – coming from three generations of physicians, and how that gave her a data-driven approach to intuition - Why the very things that challenged us most often become our points of greatest strength and tangible steps to identify our challenges and take small steps to create the life we want - The importance of avoiding the trap of constantly trying to "change yourself" and instead approaching the mind as a mechanical system that may only need a small change - The crucial difference between intuition and wisdom - Why intuition is a double-edged sword and when we should and shouldn't listen to it
