Four Hidden Fears in Trusting Again - Episode 281

If you’ve ever caught yourself checking your partner’s phone, feeling anxious when they’re late, or wondering if you’ll ever trust again, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the four hidden fears that keep so many people stuck after betrayal—and, more importantly, how you can move past them.

These fears aren’t signs of weakness. They’re normal responses to an abnormal situation. I’ve seen these fears show up again and again. I’ll walk you through each one and share insights on how to work through them.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔹 The fear of being hurt again—and how to regain a sense of safety
🔹 How to rebuild trust in yourself after betrayal
🔹 What to do if you’re afraid your partner will never change
🔹 Why it’s not necessarily too late to fix things, even if it feels that way
🔹 Practical steps to shift out of fear-based thinking and into healing
