TRUST “A true friend is one soul in two bodies.” - Aristotle You realize the risk involved. You realize good or bad consequences depend on the actions of another. You expect to suffer more if harmful consequences result. You are relatively confident the other person will behave so that beneficial consequences will result. TRUST - THE RISK A relationship is like a dance. “I wanted to miss the pain but I would have had to miss the dance” HINTS ABOUT TRUST • Very complex • Exists in relationships, not in someone’s personality • Constantly changes as two people interact • Hard to build and easy to destroy • Key to building and maintaining trust is being trustworthy • Needs to be appropriate • Cooperation increases trust - competition decreases it. • Initial trusting and trustworthy actions within a relationship can create a self-fulfilling prophecy • Acceptance is the key to reducing anxiety and fears about being vulnerable
