    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.

    I will never stop listening to my gut. It's been right 100% of the time. Every time I've ignored it, I've regretted it.
  • BTW- I don’t agree with not listening to your gut. I was an ER Nurse for some years and if I didn’t listen to my gut then I think some people would have been dead because of it. I was also a Hospice nurse. I woke up in the morning and my gut told me to go to the right person’s home that morning because they needed my help first. All emotional but in the medical field, our work is an Art and a science. Gut plays a part. 😊
  • I got a gut feeling I should question anyone that suggest i shouldnt trust my gut.
  • @ad5792
    He lost me when he mentioned that CIA follows human rights and country laws :face-blue-smiling:
  • The not listening to your gut bit, he was saying this is how you understand all of your options. This is a tool to help you make the most informed decisions for yourself so you don’t make decisions on autopilot that are solely based in how you feel. He’s not saying your natural instinct is always wrong, but we humans aren’t ALWAYS in a fight/flight/fawn situation and so it is a good thing to practice using perspective in most situations because most of the time, we aren’t in immediate danger. Yes, trust your gut, but trust it when it is appropriate and there is no other reason not to. That is what I got out of that part of this interview.
  • @nemtstartup
    I literally just applied one of these strategies on my consultations today and they are all now hot leads! Thank you for such a beautiful interview.
  • @magpie1744
    So many questions: 1. What conditioner do you use. 2. Do you blowdry or airdry? 3. Gel or cream?
  • @cchanc3
    not listening to my gut is the only thing that has ever gotten me into trouble
  • @donnasloane9031
    He is not traing us to be Narcissistic....just to be aware and have knowledge...Listening to this gentleman has SAVED MY LIFE.....I am now continuing to pusue perspectives...No more contempt prior to investigation....Thank you Andrew for inspiring me to increase grey brain cells!
  • @lisarogers1392
    I'm alot older than this guy but the times I didnt listen to my gut are the times I regret.

    This comment section portrays the one point Bustamante makes that the majority of people commenting are trying to disprove... So many people are commenting,"I sKiPpED tO tHe NeXt ViDeO wHeN hE sAiD dOnT tRuSt YoUr GuT" or "I kNeW hE wAs OuT oF hIs MiNd wHeN hE SaId tHaT, I ALWAYS Trust My GuT & ItS NeVeR DoNe Me WrOnG" He wasn't saying straight up, "Never Trust Your Gut!" If you were paying attention, the interviewer asked,"How can I train myself to lean more on my perspective?" That's when Bustamante explains there's 2 things: 1st being, Don't trust your gut because your gut is based on emotion. If you have perspective on something then you have multiple data points on something so when you feel yourself getting emotional stop and let your emotion happen for a second. Everyone commenting, trying to disprove what he's saying, jumped to a response based on emotion ("Hes wrong, because my gut has never lead me wrong") rather than actually paying attention, listening, and seeing that he's answering the interviewers question on how to lean more on your perspective than ....**Imagine That**...your perception. 😆😅 You guys are making me feel smart for merely paying attention..🤭
  • @alyahamzah1952
    As a dr who worked in the ICU for babies and children for over a decade, i cant remember how many times a life was saved or a major catastrophic event was avoided by listening to my gut. Of course the brain is there to help with the analysis of the situation at hand, but the gut helps you decide which way to go. I will never stop listening to my gut feelings
  • @kasha5839
    Thank you for your time... Really appreciate Andrew's thought and consideration about his children's future environment and opportunities.
