From Triggers to Transformation: Unlocking Emotional Trust in Your Relationship - EP232

"In order to build proper emotional intimacy, you need to start with emotional trust," - Jeremiah Campbell

What does emotional trust mean to you?

According to Google, "emotional trust refers to the confidence and reliance we have in someone to understand, validate, and respect our emotions. It involves feeling secure and comfortable in expressing our feelings, knowing that the other person will be supportive and empathetic without judgment or interruption."

Emotional trust is essential for building emotional intimacy and involves creating a secure and non-judgmental space for sharing emotions.

Today, on the "Destined To Be" podcast, we're delving deep into the significance of emotional trust, vulnerability, and open communication as essential elements for deepening your relationship.

Jeremiah shares his personal experiences and insights on the role of self-growth in fostering emotional trust. And Mallory reflects on her journey in the relationship, highlighting the challenges women face in expressing themselves and the key components that go into creating a safe space for a deeper connection. 

Listen in to embark on a path of trust-building, self-discovery, and open communication to foster a stronger, more fulfilling connection with YOUR partner.
