My new book, I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t, officially released a couple of weeks ago!
If I’m being honest, as I came to terms with my own trust issues, I wanted to withdraw from others. My heart was fragile. My mind had been working in overdrive for so long that the least little thing could trigger a flood of fear and emotions in me. I often questioned whether or not the people I was in relationship with could be trusted. After all, when someone significant breaks your trust, it can bring into question everyone else’s intentions too.
I was wondering if the only solution was to live life in isolation.
I shared these honest feelings and hesitations with my team here at Proverbs 31 Ministries as I began to write this book. And you know what happened? Not only did they make me feel less alone, but they also played a big part in my healing journey.
I wrote this book in community. And that’s also the way I want this book to be read — in a community of people who are all committed to building healthy trust together.
That’s why I’m so excited that I Want to Trust You, but I Don’t is Circle 31 Book Club’s November pick!
When trust has been broken in a relationship, trust issues can only be worked on in the context of relationship. That doesn’t mean we must return to that previous relationship where we got hurt to work on trust. (If that’s possible, then that’s great. However, sometimes that may not be possible or safe.) But what it does mean is we can’t isolate ourselves and work on repairing trust alone.
Let’s start moving forward together, friend. Join Circle 31 and start reading with us on November 1!
