Eve dives into some of the murkiest survivor waters, sharing personal experiences with vulnerability and difficulties around trust. She shares about her own anxiety that creeps up on her even in situations where she thinks she feels safe. She reminds us that being guarded may have been a helpful survival mechanism at one point. Lastly, Eve provides some psycho-education about trust and how traumatic experiences affect the survivor's ability to trust herself, others, and the world around her. She goes into the relationship between trust and self-blame and talks about the role that trust plays in recovery. Listen to the end for journaling prompts to help you think about your relationship to trust.
