Trust — building and repairing

Trust is the ground that love requires, and rebuilding it after rupture is some of the hardest relational work there is. It is earned incrementally through consistency, transparency, and the willingness to be uncomfortable, and broken in a moment through betrayal or chronic neglect. This domain looks at what trust actually is, how it forms, and what genuine repair looks like.
