"Trust Your Feelings" Is Bad Advice — Here's What to Do Instead | Creating Consciousness Ep. 2

Just trust your feelings" is some of the most dangerous advice floating around right now, and in this episode I get into why. Welcome back to Creating Consciousness — episode two with me and my brother and co-host Danté Williams. We dig into the difference between feelings and gut instincts (one is conditioned by your past, the other is your body trying to talk to you without a mouth), how I had to live through my first real heartbreak before I could see the codependent patterns I'd been carrying since childhood, and why so many of us — men especially — get stuck cycling between suppressing emotion and replaying the same justification tape in our head until we're exhausted.Timestamps:00:00:00 Why "Trust Your Feelings" Is Dangerous Advice00:04:50 First Heartbreak and Codependent Relationship Patterns00:07:00 Feelings vs Gut Instinct: How To Tell The Difference00:09:30 Your Body Knows Things Your Mind Cannot Explain00:13:30 Getting Addicted to Victimhood and Negative Emotions00:17:30 Marriage, Generational Trauma and Inherited Fears00:24:00 Rumination vs Processing: Why Men Get Stuck00:28:00 How Painting Your Anger Onto a Canvas Heals You00:32:30 Not Your Fault But Still Your Responsibility00:35:00 What The Bhagavad Gita Taught Me About Triggers00:37:00 Robbed at 6AM and What It Pushed Me Toward00:42:00 Stand Up Comedy vs The Social Media Algorithm#creatingconsiousness #gutinstinct #socialmedia
