How do I Know Who I Can Trust?
When I talk with trauma survivors, I often hear the question, "how do I know I can trust someone?". Relationship red flags are one thing. But what about actions or language that are pro-active? In other words, how can you figure out if someone is trustworthy?
You're Not Supposed To Be Here
Remember the "I'm not supposed to be here," post from a few months back? (I also posted about it here a few weeks ago.) Wellllll.....there is some truth to that. You're not supposed to be here. But it's not personal. Truly. The worlds you and I live in aren’t really for us. How could they be? They weren’t designed by us.
Why do we say "yes" to everything?
While there are no wrong answers to this question (only your beliefs about your own actions), there is a most accurate answer. An answer that is actually true for all of us. But before we get there, what answer did you choose? The answer you choose tells me a lot about you. But those things may not be what you think.
