EP 188 — Trusting Others Starts With This (And It’s Not What You Think)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people think trust is built by watching what others do.
But in therapy, we’ve found that trust actually starts somewhere else.
In this episode, we reveal the overlooked foundation of trust — and how your relationship with yourself determines how much you can receive from others.
You’ll learn the difference between earned trust and forced openness, why self-abandonment can masquerade as connection, and how to stop giving people the benefit of the doubt at your own expense.
