Whether it’s trust in people, authority, the world, or yourself, they show how trauma quietly rewires what you believe is “safe” and what isn’t.Instead of the classic “I either totally trust or totally shut down,” they introduce a more realistic, compassionate approach: rebuilding trust in stages. Using real examples from their own relationship, they walk through how to move from complete distrust to a grounded, earned trust over time—without ignoring red flags or abandoning yourself.You’ll learn how processing trauma cuts the emotional “weights” that keep you stuck in blind trust or blind distrust, so you can respond logically to what’s actually happening in front of you. You’ll also hear how to start with the most important piece of all: rebuilding trust in yourself, your choices, and your ability to keep yourself safe.If you’ve ever felt like you love someone but don’t know how—or if—you can trust them again, this episode will give you a clear framework, language, and mindset to move forward without rushing, forcing, or pretending. 💡 What You’ll LearnHow trauma creates blind trust or blind distrust and what to do about itWhy trust doesn’t have to be all or nothing and how to use stages of trustHow to rebuild trust in specific areas instead of labeling someone “all good” or “all bad”How to use the “trust-o-meter” idea to gauge what feels safe in each situationWhy rebuilding self-trust is the foundation for trusting others, authority, and lifeHow processing trauma helps you respond logically instead of from old emotional woundsPractical ways to “earn back” trust in a relationship through consistent behaviorHow to move toward people and the world safely without ignoring your instinctsHow faith in the future and trust in yourself work together in PTSD recovery 🧠 Key TakeawayYou don’t have to trust everyone—or everything—100%; you just need to trust yourself enough to decide who has earned a deeper level of trust and when. 🔗 Next StepsSubscribe for new weekday episodes from the Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching archive.To go deeper or work with Brad directly, visit https://overcomingptsd.com/consultation.
