How to Rebuild Trust and Relationships After Trauma

After betrayal, abandonment, manipulation, or abuse, trusting again can feel impossible. You may long for connection, but your body pulls back. You may crave intimacy, but fear being hurt again. You may want healthy relationships, yet find yourself guarded, suspicious, or overwhelmed.

In this episode of Life Reassembled, we unpack what it really takes to rebuild trust after trauma.

You’ll learn how to rebuild self-trust first, identify what safe people feel like, communicate boundaries, and let others earn trust slowly over time. We’ll explore how to reconnect in the healthy relationships you already have (or want to keep), how to pace vulnerability, and how to move toward intimacy without abandoning your voice.

If you’ve ever wondered why trusting feels so hard — or feared you’ll never have healthy love again — this episode will help you understand your reactions and offer hope for connection that feels secure, mutual, and grounded in peace instead of fear.
