Intuition vs Inner Chatter: How to Recognise True Inner Knowing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s Talk Time, Meredith McCarthy explores the difference between inner chatter and genuine intuitive knowing— and how this distinction plays a powerful role in hypnotherapy sessions and everyday decision-making.
Many people confuse intuition with thoughts like “Should I?”, “What if?” or “Maybe I should…”. In this episode, Meredith explains why true intuition doesn’t arrive as a question at all — but as a calm, clear statement. A sense of knowing rather than overthinking.
Drawing on over 30 years of clinical experience, Meredith shares how intuition naturally emerges during hypnosis and parts therapy, where clients connect with deeper inner wisdom — whether experienced through the body, emotions, images, or a quiet inner voice. This intuitive guidance often cuts through mental noise and helps people move towards healing, clarity, and meaningful change.
This episode gently explores:
- The difference between intuition and mental over-processing
- How intuitive knowing shows up in hypnotherapy and parts work
- Why inner wisdom feels calm, direct, and grounded
- How to start noticing intuitive signals in everyday life
- Why intuition is not about being psychic, but about listening deeply
Meredith also touches on how therapists naturally enter altered states alongside their clients, allowing intuitive guidance to inform the therapeutic process in a safe, ethical, and client-centred way.
Whether you are curious about intuition, personal growth, or how hypnotherapy works on a deeper level, this episode offers thoughtful insights and practical reflection.
