THE courage to trust: a guide to building deep and lasting relationships
Have earlier betrayals kept you from trusting wisely today? Trust is a factor in every social or business interaction. Even misunderstandings feel like betrayal. Take heart! You can learn to address betrayals without conflict. This is the promise of The Courage to Trust.
We can’t learn to trust in innocence and dependency of childhood. We can only learn how and when to trust as we grow. The lessons and stories uncover the mystery underlying upsetting interactions that can occur in any relationship. Gentle guidance uncovers what is holding you back from being compassionately honest with yourself as well as with others. You'll find stories, exercises and suggestions to help you overcome old barriers to building trust and intimacy.
