I want to share an experience of mine. This is also posted in my witchcraft and wicca group.

last year, I had this feeling of dread that was following me. I really thought something bad was going to happen to me, but one night, I came home from work and realised I hadn't seen my ex boyfriend, who still lived with me, since the day before, so I went into his room and found he had commit suicide. Ever since, I have been getting gut feelings that always turn out to be right, I never used to understand the tarot, but now, I can get good readings that hit the right spot. I can also sometimes pick up on others feelings more strongly now.

Do you think traumatic experiences can open up your senses, making you more sensitive to gut feelings, and things around you? Or do you think that, because of the numbness we feel after, that we are more open to it because its not so clouded by our own emotions?
