Dear Dr. Tracy

Part 2: When Love isn't Enough: Rebuilding Trust


Listen Later

In this episode of Dear Dr. Tracy, clinical psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Tracy Dalgleish is joined by her husband Greg for part two of their deep dive on trust in relationships. Building on last week’s conversation about the difference between love and trust, attachment styles, and how trust is broken, this episode focuses on five powerful ways to rebuild trust after betrayal or disconnection.

Listeners will learn why small daily actions matter, how to repair after ruptures, and why vulnerability and transparency are key to intimacy. Dr. Tracy also unpacks the role of self-trust and shares practical scripts couples can use in moments of insecurity or defensiveness. Through real-life therapy insights and community Q&A, this conversation tackles infidelity, emotional withdrawal, resentment, and even the feeling of getting “the ick” in long-term relationships.

Whether you’re wondering “Can I trust my partner again?” or struggling with consistency, accountability, or broken promises, this episode provides actionable strategies to strengthen emotional intimacy and rebuild connection.
