Episode notes
Trust Is the Oxygen of Relationships
- Trust is essential oxygen for all human relationships, enabling vulnerability and depth.
- Without trust, relationships lack true love and eventually lose life and vibrancy.
Repair Each Rip Specifically
- Repair broken trust by addressing each specific rip instead of looking for one big repair.
- Do personal "story work" to handle past wounds that affect current trust issues.
Choose Disclosure Over Discovery
- Prefer disclosure where the offender openly admits wrongdoing before discovery occurs.
- Continuous discoveries without prior admission deepen betrayal and reduce chances of repair.
