Trust for the Trust Phobic

Trust for the Trust Phobic

I’ll Never Trust Anyone Again!!!”  We’ve all said it. Usually, it’s cried out dramatically in tears while running to our bed (the hand on the forehead is optional) or right before we take our hit of Ben and Jerry’s ready for our night of DVR’d numbness. How adorable!!!  Actually thinking we can turn trust off like a faucet.  Here’s the deal - if you plan to never trust anyone again, head to a deserted island because if you are in a relationship of any kind, trust is involved.  And here’s more crappy news, humans are imperfect and therefore, it’s only a matter of time before one of them lets you down again.

Knowing Who To Trust

If you have a hard time trusting, then it might be because someone violated your trust when you were young. Maybe it was your parents...or another family member...or someone else who was important to you at the time. On the March 11th episode of Heart 2 Heart, Elizabeth and Michelle discuss trust: how you can identify trustworthy people and then build trusting relationships with them. See the attached blog post for Elizabeth's commentary and additional show notes.
