As a result of the ending of your marriage, you may be questioning everything and become less trusting as a form of self-protection. This mistrust can show up in different ways. You may feel you need to be dishonest or secretive (or that the other person is), or you may often doubt whether the other person is going to keep their promises, or you believe that the only person you can rely on is yourself, or you may even become dependable on someone else because you don’t trust your own judgment or decisions anymore.

• heal and recover from betrayal, and

• stop doubting yourself and regain your confidence

you will need to take steps to learn to trust again, so I’m sharing some tips to help you.
