“Trust, like love and freedom, is one of those essential human values that everyone understands—until it comes into question and it is time to put into practice.”  Robert Soloman and Fernando Flores

To Trust or Not to Trust…THAT is the question!  In the spirit of Saving Our Inner Tortoises, March, April and May’s Emotional Agility Booster Shot teleclasses will question AND put into practice the essential emotion of trust (of self and others) and its necessary opposite—distrust!

Sit back for a moment…

• Have you taken your trusting nature too far?  Where have you put “trust blinders on” by accepting inappropriate behavior or tolerated repeated broken promises to your and others’ detriment?
• On the other hand…Might you be holding your distrust too tightly and righteously?  Could you be suffering more than the perpetrator?  Is it time to release yourself with forgiveness or disassociation?
• If trust has been broken AND you have little choice but to be in relationship (say with family or at work), how do we practice prudent trust?
• Might you truly want to trust again yet are wary? How do we leave our pessimism, skepticism or doubting nature and restore our ability to trust?
• Has trust of yourself taken a hit of late? Full of self-doubt or second-guessing?  How can we restore our trustworthiness, self-confidence and self-reliance?
