    So here's the thing: By his own admission, he was trained to lie. He also explains that they recruited him because he was ALREADY a liar *by nature*, and the CIA made him even better at lying. Which, honestly, makes me wonder how much of what he says is even true...

    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.

      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.

      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.

    @whiskeysquiker 10 днів тому +40

    I think his version of "gut" is different than mine. My gut is my instinct. There is zero emotion attached to it. It's what kicks on when certain things don't add up, and I won't know what that is, but it's wrong and when I don't listen to that, that's when I always get screwed. If I have a feeling about something and I may even know what things cause me to feel a certain way about a scenario or whatever, I believe that's his version of "gut". Bottom line is, ALWAYS trust your gut. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve.

    • @brytankak9598
      @brytankak9598 7 днів тому +2

      I think what he means is "don't trust the narrative your mind builds to explain your gut feeling." E.g. your gut tells you your GF acts off. *dont* jump to conclusions that she's cheating. Evaluate the context logically.

      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.

I was heartbroken... I was just in tears... ( well I wanted to stay to start training for my new job, I had mostly taken care of them and only worked part-time! I thave excellent credit 40,000 worth of credit I was going pay for all tickets and food to make up for it) ... well I have not been the same... I do not talk to my daughter and her husband and things have not been the same with me and my granddaughter, now here is a good gut story... I applied for 8 jobs they all said I was hired great hmmm which one should I chose... well I accepted All of them why I do not know it just felt like I should! but guess what ! only one of them actually called me to train even thought I had offer letter and a statement saying we will be in touch to give you training dates and times and congratulatory letters FROM ALL 8 OF THEM! !! had I chosen the ONLY one that paid $2 more and hour and not accepted all of them ... I WOULD HAVE noT MADE ALMOST $90,000 a sales rep with the only job that actually gave me training and kept good on their offer letter!! I never sold before and made $15,000 the previous year IN CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!! SO trust your gut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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".

      His information was really powerful. He explained how to not respond with fear but instead to rationalize with logic so you overcome it. That’s amazing insight for relationships and marriage. We hear the wrong things when we respond with emotion instead of seeing it from the other person’s perspective first sometimes. Basically, assess the situation before you address. Lots of good points he made.

  • @pamil3524

    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.

    It took me on a journey through my educational studies in psychology, NLP, business and leadership training and delivery up to business today!
    He posed some real philosophical questions and the conversations around prioritising love was thought provoking, he talked about how anxiety was a superpower, fear…he was so good!
    I have so many ideas that feed into forthcoming projects 💭
    His conversation around perception vs perspective, the piece on fear and the emotional vs logical brain and consumerism shares and highlighted some real gems!💎
    Thank you for this interview Andrew, and thank you for conducting the interview and for asking some excellent questions Steven👌.
    Love the comments at the end about taking action and on identity, which is a whole subject to itself?
    His parting thoughts on belief and equality were so interesting and he spoke some truths there.
    I took so many digital notes! Thank you 🙏
    One thing I would say or add is that I would and do trust my gut, as your gut is your second brain 🧠
    I’m also an NLP practitioner so I could f his views on this interesting. He has some points, however I believe and have tested the Eye Accessing Cues many times and believe and know that it has substance.
    However, with ‘moral flexibility’, I can see his points in terms of where he is. Coming from so would want to look into this in more detail.
    As a whole, and based on what he shared, his experiences and the way he articulates and answered every question, he is exceptionally well trained!

Gut is more instinctual in which emotions can cloud our instincts, making us think we are listening to our gut because we feel strongly about something. The gut is more of a signal to our bodies rather than something that’s decided by thinking or through emotion.

    While I completely understand the "clinically trained psychologist" below and their unease with "not trusting your gut."
    However, the ability to rely on your head instead of your gut is due to training and can be turned on or off at will, depending on the situation. So, that isn't a continuous problem.
    My wife is a mental health counselor and works with trauma clients all of the time. She is responsible for helping me cope with my PTSD from 15 years of government service, including multiple combat deployments.
    Without my wife's help, I would not have survived.
    One of the aspects of my personality that she noticed was my ability to compartmentalize various memories of trauma, before my government service and after it. So, she saw my ability to compartmentalize as a coping skill.
    It's nearly impossible to make such sweeping judgments from a video without a true clinical evaluation. The willingness to make such a general statement leads me to question the veracity of the commenter's claims. I'm not making the same type of judgment, I'm simply asking the question.
    Be well.

      Coming from a guy who's mom said she 'had to love him.'
      He can't trust *his* emotions or intuition because that led him to assume wrong in the past. There are times when we should ignore our emotions and need for quick validation, but that's different than following your instincts on something... The gut is like a second brain. It is a neural network. The health of your gut directly influences everything.

      I think it’s highly irresponsible of him to scorn intuition like that. People need to frame his words within the fact he admits to his several sociopathic traits. It’s like stating that we need consumers to remain ignorant… and the sociopathic attitude sees it as normal. He admits to moral flexibility, where he has principles, but he might get new ones tomorrow. Everything he said will lead untrained minds to erroneous conclusions and behaviors. By the way, to get all that knowledge you don’t need to be part of the CIA. you just have to study psychology or organizational behavior 😅. Most of the stuff he mentioned is common knowledge amongst university students, or at least amongst 4-year university graduates.

    I connected with Andrew's comments about emotions being negative. I've never heard anyone speak this way about people who are driven to irrational behavior by their emotions. You can have sympathy for people who seem all would up by jealousy or insecurity, but they often cause damage to people around them. And because they are so would up in their own hurt, they have no resources to care about the people they are hurting. I think we should have better terminology for the good emotions. If a song moves you, or you cry during a movie scene where someone is feeling emotional or physical pain, or you feel all warm seeing a young child laugh with joy, that is a good thing - empathy. The bad emotions cause the opposite of empathy. So many people sabotage their close relationships, and the possibility of having a contented life because they haven't learned to examine their emotions and see them clearly. When people are so protected that they can't even talk about what they said and did, they change the subject or blame others, they are never going to start understanding themselves. We don't talk about this enough.

      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.

      Both of these ideas are true to me. However I believe children do not stay children, they grow up and have families, homes, lives and even sometimes children of their own. If you are their "forever protector" you are in part denying them at least a portion of that role. Not to mention the fact that if viewpoints differ between your spouse and child, if there is a disagreement and you have to pick sides, your spouse or partners opinion should just automatically hold more weight. They are supposed to be your chosen partner in creating future adults if you have children. Perhaps this is the reason so many of the youngest generation are taking longer to become adults, if they ever do. There comes a time when allowing them to become everything they could be, means you have to step back.
