Hiding Verses Podcast: The Trust Problem
Trusting ourselves is the key to any successful relationship, but we are often taught to trust others before trusting ourselves. As a result, we internalize shame and develop low self-worth when really we are to be celebrated.
Today I'm talking about how abuse taught me not to trust myself and why I worked to learn to lean on my instinct despite my upbringing.

trusting our self is the best before trusting others in a relationship
<3 Well said.
thank you for this @shawnamawna, this is something that we all need to work on x
It's amazing to me that it's such a common challenge. I'd love to read about if you address this with your kids and how your nomadic lifestyle impacts that @trucklife-family.
You know yourself more than any other person, so self trusting must be 100%
guaranteed by your own self but not the confirmations from others who don't
really know the true you. @shawnamawna.
Yes, absolutely. We are the only people who can know our minds. Even counseling sessions are simply a chance for us to accurately contextualize what we already know (and reframe it as necessary).
I am really encouraged by listening to your podcast. Thank you.
I am warmed to hear this @papaudeme. If I can touch just one person, I have succeeded.
I want to start with how incredibly impressed I am with you, yet again. With the way you've worked your way through abuse and used it to become a better and more thoughtful person. It's incredible.
Instead of answering your question in the comments, I went ahead and posted a response.
I read your response this morning and am on my way over to comment there. I loved it and I'm so excited we are having Steemit "conversation."
