What is Self-Trust

Chapter 9
Natural Healing as Conflict Resolution
A way of being which involves the inherent belief that an individual can trust themselves, feels this trust, and can develop appropriate conditions to access and become aware of their human potentialities (e.g., intuition), insights, and processes which may be valuable for decision-making. Negative affectivity (e.g., negative mood) can disrupt or block access to intuition and hinder feelings of self-trust.

Abstract
One research question guided the autoethnographic inquiry: “What is the experience of intuition and immersion in the Holotropic Breathwork community?” The experience of intuition and Holotropic Breathwork are subjective. An autoethnography is proposed to allow focus on personal and evocative narratives of the author. Specifically, Jones, Adams, and Ellis method for autoethnographic data analysis was followed to bring the reader into the experience while being vulnerable. Data analysis revealed (1) appropriate set and setting, (2) mutual support, and (3) self-trust as salient themes. Future considerations to inform possible alternatives and integrative methods for coping with anxiety, depression, and enhancing quality decision making given the experience of intuition and immersions in the Holotropic Breathwork community are discussed.
