Learning When to Listen: Mauricio Yabar on Intuition and Other Half-Baked Ideas

What do you do when something in a therapy session quietly tells you to pay attention? Mauricio Yabar joins Travis Heath to explore clinical intuition as an embodied, relational form of knowing shaped by lived experience, culture, pattern recognition, and the therapeutic relationship.

They discuss learning to hear intuition’s “little whispers” without automatically acting on them, distinguishing intuition from anxiety and bias, and making room in clinical practice for forms of knowledge that don’t always arrive with an immediate explanation. Together they explore the role of intuition in therapy, supervision, research, and clinical training; the limits of privileging only what can be rationally explained; and the value of making room for the “half-baked ideas” that emerge when therapists allow themselves to be surprised.
