In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill continue their engaging discussion on trust and how it shapes our relationships. Picture yourself driving down a road with ditches on either side – one representing only trusting yourself and the other, not trusting yourself at all. The hosts delve into the nuances of finding a balance between these extremes, emphasising the importance of cultivating trust with reliable people.
They share relatable anecdotes, such as trusting other drivers on the road or distinguishing between different levels of trust in personal relationships. For instance, you might trust your 12-year-old daughter with small tasks but not with brain surgery – that's where a professional comes in. This episode is packed with practical advice on recognising trustworthy individuals and setting boundaries with those who aren't.
You'll learn that while it's essential to protect yourself from unreliable people, it's equally important not to shut yourself off from everyone. West and Austin remind us that trust grows over time and with consistent, reliable behaviour from those around us. So, if you're navigating trust issues in your life, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips to help you build healthier relationships.
Don't miss out on this thoughtful conversation that could change how you approach trust in your daily life.
