The Psychology of Intuition
Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. — Jonas Salk Intuition, often colloquially referred to as a “gut feeling,” plays a vital role in our decision-making processes, shaping our actions in ways that are frequently outside our conscious awareness. For years, psychology and neuroscience have grappled with defining the scope and mechanism of intuition, tracing its manifestations from cognitive shortcuts to deeply embedded survival instincts. The topic is of interest not just to psychologists but also to professionals in various domains, such as business, medicine, and law enforcement, where intuitive reasoning can sometimes trump analytical judgment (Dane & Pratt, 2007).

They’re trying to reframe painful experiences and shine a “new light” on them, but their good intentions go too far.
