The Importance of Trust in Counseling

For people to be trustable they also have to be committed to positive and healthy communication. A lot of people have very poor communication skills which means that they may not be purposefully mistrustful but they are not good to be trusted because their communication style is very self-serving. Also you want to look at their predictability and their integrity - a predictability is character. If a person lets say likes to go fishing or if a person is quickly angry and these are qualities of their personality and then that goes away quickly, that's something you want to communicate about so that you know when you get in a fight they'll get over it quickly.
