Today's listener question is: Dear Liz, How do I instill trust again after expressing relational doubts to my partner?
When dealing with relational doubt it is important to think about what can be done to recreate secure attachment in this relationship?
One piece of it is to allow. Allow the other person to have some of the feelings that they're having. It is also important to validate their feelings. Also, you don't have to go through this alone - ask your partner what you they need from you. And finally, try to show that you're trustworthy which might mean being more vocal than usual and paying close attention to your reliability.
