"Trust: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something one in which confidence is placed." Merriam-Webster
Trust: SO many of us have experienced life without it.
Personally, from as early as I can remember, I saw the world through the lens of broken trust, unsafe people, and painful experiences. Little by little, I began building a shield of armor around my heart that I felt would protect me from experiencing that inevitable rupture.
I began numbing the negative and by default, numbing it all.
How do we learn to trust once our perception of 'safety' and 'security' have been shattered?
How do we build a solid sense of trust within ourselves after manipulation, gaslighting, and abuse?
How do we lean into the uncertainty of the unknown having experienced real difficulties that have shaped us, our nervous systems, and our realities?
If you've struggled with trust issues, whether within yourself or in relation to others, this episode is for you!
Topics discussed: Trust, learning to trust, trust after abuse, gaslighting, narcissistic abuse, generational abuse, manipulation, safety, divorce.
