Audio Newsletter: "How Do I Trust Again?"

Trust gets asked about all the time. “How do I trust them again?”  But that question is usually hiding something deeper, like “How do I stop feeling anxious?” or “How do I get back to normal?” In this audio newsletter, Matt talks about why that question might be the wrong place to start.

This episode touches on the neuroscience and evolutionary basis of trust - why your brain wants to reconnect with someone who hurt you, and why that craving can override logic. Matt also shares some of what Dr. Jake Porter teaches about rebuilding safety in relationships, and how his approach aligns with my our experience.

This episode really hones it on what it actually took to rebuild trust in our marriage after years of betrayal and addiction - no shortcuts, no hacks, no performance. Just the hard, boring, daily stuff that makes people feel safe again.

If you’re the one who’s been hurt, we hope this helps you listen to your body and trust what it’s telling you. And if you’re the one who broke the trust, this is the playbook. Not to be forgiven, but to become someone worth trusting again.
