In this episode, Charles and Ila address one of the most frequent questions they get: "How do I repair trust after it has been broken?" When someone has broken our trust, it’s natural to build defences to protect ourselves, to pull away, disconnect or withdraw. Carrying broken trust can be heavy. There is almost always a high cost for living with distrust - for you, as well as those around you. There is another path if you choose to take it. You can talk about it with the person who has damaged your trust. Finding a way from distrust back to trust may not be easy - it can be downright difficult - but it is possible and it is a choice. And when you succeed the trust is almost always stronger than before. Charles and Ila suggest the questions to ask yourself in deciding if repairing trust is right for you, and how to approach a re-build, starting with a conversation.
