I think I would define trust as feeling safe in your vulnerability with your t. This then encompases a whole range of things, like believing things he says, believing he has your best interests in mind, feeling safe enough to share things, etc. But I think it really boils down to feeling safe being vulnerable.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
