True safety doesn't come from trust. True safety comes from clarity of perception.
Ever wondered if the way we think about trust might be all wrong? In this episode of 'Alive and Free', Bob Gardner shakes up our traditional views on trust in relationships. Instead of the usual advice to 'just trust more', Bob suggests that this might actually be causing more harm than good. He dives into how our perceptions and predictions shape our sense of trust and why this can lead to problems.
Bob uses real-life examples and relatable metaphors, like dancing, to illustrate his points. He argues that being present and paying attention is far more important than blind trust. This fresh perspective encourages listeners to rethink how they build connections, aiming for genuine safety and deeper relationships. If you're curious about how to make your relationships truly magical, this episode is a must-listen.
