5 Steps to Rebuilding Trust

If there is one commonality in all of humankind, it could easily be the fact that we have all been hurt, felt betrayed, and lost the foundation of trust within a relationship. Trust is something sacred, and when lost the dynamics of a relationship can change completely, and often do. Sometimes it is a conscious shift, other times it lays at a subconscious level - regardless, the damage may seem irreversible. Trust is what makes us open up completely to others; it is what makes us our most transparent and therefore a solid foundation of trust makes for the best relationships. This may be our parents, our friends, our spouses and partners, or our siblings... So, what happens when that foundation has a crack in it? How do we repair it and work toward healing and forgiveness?
