The Anatomy of Trust: Building Strong Relationships
Trust is built in small moments, where boundaries are respected, reliability is demonstrated, and accountability is practiced. The vault of trust ensures that what is shared remains confidential, while integrity means choosing courage and practicing values. Non-judgment allows for vulnerability without fear of criticism, and generosity assumes the best intentions. Breaking trust down into these elements can help address specific issues in relationships and foster self-trust.
The Power of Small Moments in Trust
Trust is built in sliding door moments, where choosing connection over comfort can lead to meaningful interactions. Sharing challenging stories and experiences with marble jar friends who have consistently shown support builds trust. Being reliable, accountable, maintaining confidentiality, acting with integrity, refraining from judgment, and assuming generosity are key components of cultivating trust.
The Importance of Self-Trust
Self-trust is crucial in fostering trust in relationships. Examining our own boundaries, reliability, accountability, confidentiality, integrity, non-judgment, and generosity allows us to develop a strong sense of self-trust. By valuing and trusting ourselves, we can better navigate interactions with others and ensure that our own marble jar is full, enabling us to give and receive trust.
I wanted to share with you a talk that I did at UCLA’s Royce Hall for Oprah’s Super Soul sessions where I uncovered the fundamentals of trust. What is trust? The data says there are seven parts of trust, and we organize these into the acronym BRAVING. Breaking down the anatomy of trust into specific behaviors allows us to more clearly identify and address breaches of trust. I love the BRAVING checklist because it reminds me that trusting myself or other people is a vulnerable and courageous process.
