A. TRUST. ISSUE. It is a preemptive strike against heartbreak.</p> <p>By not trusting, you prevent hurt, but you also push away love because love cannot exist without trust.</p> <p>If you want to learn how to trust again, this episode is for you. I also prescribe an exercise at the end that you can do at home to help you heal trust wounds.</p> <p>If you enjoy videos like this, please SUBSCRIBE to get notified of upcoming videos and leave comments.
