Trust in a relationship is the confidence of others being there for you, their behaviour, intentions and words.

Relationships include vulnerability and sometimes people enter them from a place of fear. Trust provides a space of safety and security.

Child and adult experience can influence the trust in others.

Consistency of being there for someone can strengthen trust when they’ve been hurt by past relationships. It’s a true gift in life that’s under spoken when someone shows up with consistency.

Consistency is when their behaviour and feelings align with their words, open communication, emotional steady and creating a level of predictability that is overall safety.

This provides a secure base that can be fundamental in learning to trust.

Psychological projection is when people see their own feelings or thoughts and attribute it to others. This helps them to protect their ego. An example of this would be if someone makes judgement of another e.g. someone says you are pitiful when they are describing themselves.

It is important to remember the projection is not about you but the other persons insecurities. Bringing compassion to their experience can be supportive. Staying calm and dependent on their curiosity it can be talked about. However in some circumstances dependent on the person distance might be required. Your emotional and physical safety is paramount at all times.

The nervous system is spoke a lot within psychology. Many think of it as simply ‘becoming calm’. This seems rather oversimplified and it’s not about the end goal of ‘calmness’. This can be rather shaming for many. In clinic we take a fresh approach and consider adaptability to current or past stressors. It’s also okay from time to time to distract from affect (emotions).

Clinic is fully booked until 2025 and saw many changes throughout the year. The waiting area and meditation room got a bit of a revamp.
