Trust

Trust is natural.

Trust is healthy.

As babies, we develop trust and safety in our parents and caregivers.
When we are hurt, it is hard to trust.
When someone betrays our trust, it is hard to trust again.
One of the keys to recovery is believing that we can trust and feel safe again.

We develop trust not by immediately throwing down our boundaries, telling all, and expecting someone to save us.

We develop trust over time by gradually getting to know someone without rushing, without alternative motives.

We have trust when we feel safe. We do not feel the need to hide parts of ourselves. We are better people.
