Codependent Doctor 50: Rebuilding Trust in Relationships: What to Do When You've Been Hurt
Have you ever felt the quiet pressure to “just get over it” after someone broke your trust?
Maybe they apologized. Maybe they didn’t. But something inside you still feels unsettled.
Trust doesn’t rebuild overnight. It takes consistency, accountability, and the slow return of emotional safety—not just a quick “I’m sorry.”
In this episode, we explore:
- Why trust feels like emotional debt, not a switch you can flip
- How codependent patterns make rebuilding trust even harder
- The difference between true accountability vs. shame spirals
- How emotional safety is rebuilt through small, steady moments
- Why your healing timeline matters—and why it’s okay to take your time
Whether you’re trying to rebuild trust or deciding if a relationship can be repaired, this episode offers practical guidancefor moving forward in ways that feel right for you.
