Do you tell yourself:

If you suffered abuse at the hands of people you once trusted, feeling that you have your back to the wall and you cannot trust anyone again is a common coping mechanism.

You built this hard shell to shield your heart from further abuse, betrayal, and disappointment.

You not only find it difficult to trust others, but you also no longer trust in your ability to choose people.

But extreme-independence IS. A. TRUST. ISSUE. It is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.

By not trusting, you prevent hurt, but you also push away love because love cannot exist without trust.

If you want to learn how to trust again, this episode is for you. I also prescribe an exercise at the end that you can do at home to help you heal trust wounds.
