You’ve found someone kind. Consistent. Safe.

So why does it still feel risky to let your guard down?

In this episode, we unpack why trust can feel unsafe — even when there’s no red flag in sight. We explore the nervous system’s role in protection, how old betrayal patterns keep you scanning for danger, and the silent belief many carry: “It’s not safe to need anyone.”

If you’ve ever felt guilt for being “too guarded,” this one will help you understand the wisdom behind that defense — and how to gently soften it.
