If we approach our relationships with other people from the position that they want to do well, rather than from the perspective of this person might hurt me, and I'm not gonna trust them until they prove they won't. The thought of not trusting my universe takes me to a place of anxiety, isolation, fear, anger, resentment and depression.
Ever struggled with trusting others, especially after dealing with addiction in your family or friends? This episode of The Recovery Show dives into the complex world of trust and its pivotal role in 12-step recovery. Starting with a simple definition—trust is the firm belief in someone's reliability, truth, ability, or strength—the hosts unravel the layers of trust issues that often plague relationships affected by addiction.
One guest opens up about their personal battles with trust in romantic relationships, sharing how the judgments of others once clouded their own self-worth. Through the Al-Anon program, they found a way to separate their identity from these external judgments and began to rebuild their ability to trust. The discussion doesn't stop at interpersonal trust; it extends to trusting a Higher Power.
The hosts and guests reflect on their journeys to place faith in something greater than themselves, finding serenity and guidance along the way. The episode emphasizes the liberating power of letting go of control and learning to trust others. It’s a tough process, but one that can lead to profound personal growth and deeper emotional connections. The hosts encourage listeners to view others through a lens of goodwill rather than suspicion, fostering a more positive and trusting outlook on life.
Wrapping up, the show highlights the benefits of embracing trust—how it can bring emotional intimacy, reduce anxiety, and even create a sense of peace by trusting the universe. If trust is something you’re grappling with, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt stories that might just light your path. Tune in for an engaging conversation that could change how you see trust in your recovery journey.
