* Trust is choosing to make something important to you vulnerable to the actions of someone else
* Distrust is "what I have shared with you that is important to me is not safe with you"
Trust is BRAVING
- Boundaries
- Clear about your and my boundaries and we trust them
- Reliability
- You do what you say you're going to do, all the time
- Accountability
- You're willing to own mistakes, apologize, and make amends
- Vault
- What we share with each other we will hold in confidence
- Gossiping reduces trust
- Integrity
- Choosing courage over comfort
- Choosing what's right over what's fun/fast/easy
- Practicing, not just professing, your values
- Non-Judgement
- We can fall apart, ask for help, and be in struggle without being judged by each other
- We're better at helping than asking for help
- When we judge ourself for needing help, we judge others for needing help too
- Generosity
- Only a trusting relationship if you can assume the most generous thing about my words, intentions, and behaviors and check in
