Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. __1__ Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. __2__ It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
•__3__ Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your wellbeing.
•__4__ If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality". At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated.
•You didn't lose "everything". Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. __5__ Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
