Welcome to Therapy and Theology. I’m Lisa Turkers. This is Jim Crest and Dr. Joel Mudamali. Really, you guys just don’t even need introductions at this point, right? I could just say this is our friend Jim. Our friend Joel and we would all be fine. We’ve been doing a very interesting look at trust in relationships.
I’ve just written a book called I Want to Trust You But I Don’t. And I think it’s important for us to understand like we covered in the first session what is trust in a relationship. And when I looked at the two important factors, I really think it’s connection and safety. We need to keep those in balance.
And then we also considered that trust is the oxygen of all human relationships. But what do we do when we’re in a relationship and we start to get this whoock feeling that something’s wrong? I don’t feel safe. I feel like the connection is disintegrating a bit. I am worried that I can’t trust you, but I’m not exactly sure why. >> So, we want to examine these roots of distrust that may exist in a current relationship you have, but also these same roots of distrust can serve as red flags to consider when looking at potential relationships.
