Lesson Overview

1.2 – Identifying Barriers to Trust: Barriers to trust often hide in fear, past wounds, and unspoken expectations. They appear when communication breaks down or when emotional defenses take the place of openness. In a relationship, these barriers can look like secrecy, judgment, avoidance, or inconsistency. Recognizing them requires courage to see what stands between connection and vulnerability. Sometimes, mistrust is not about what’s happening now but what once happened before. By identifying barriers, partners can stop misinterpreting silence as disinterest and defensiveness as rejection. Awareness becomes the first step toward healing. When barriers are named, they lose their power and space opens for rebuilding trust on clearer, more honest ground.
