<font color="green">I am coming to feel that trust is not something others have to earn from us but rather something we have to extent to others. Trusting is a risk but what is life without risk? I can live forever in the trap of my fears or I can reach out and attempt to connect to others.
This in particular is written to my therapist. I love her but I struggle with trust still. Can I trust you? Can I trust you? How can I be, Asking this Same old question. But can I trust you? I think I need to I want to So I ask it once again. So many times In fear and trembling, I've asked You answer's just the same. Why can't I trust? You prove yourself Over and over But still I fear to trust. I find that fear Seems more real to me Than love Or safety with another. I know I can trust you My fear is really the lie I wonder Can you trust me? </font>

Emotions get attached to memories of experience to indicate importance. If emotions were easily erased then they would be of no value. It's not surprising that learning to trust again requires testing to see if you can replace bad memories with good ones. It takes time for you to experience some good ones (with T) to replace the bad ones.

Dalila, Yes trust is hard. I like what you said about trust being something we extend to others, rather than it be something others must earn.

Very nice piece of creative work. I know I have problems trusting anyone myself.

Trust is extremely hard especially if the trust we give to those closest to us is trampled on.
I think it takes a long time to rebuild trust and that time would be different for all of us.
