Publisher's summary

The number one reason why you have trust issues, and why feeling messed up doesn’t mean you’ll never find real love.

Let’s face it - we’re all messed up. Unless you’ve never been in a relationship before or you don’t have questionable family dynamics, chances are that some type of betrayal has happened in your life.

So, what do we do about such problems?

We usually dump all of that baggage on people who have nothing to do with our screwed up past.

Raise your hand if you’ve been betrayed before, and you’re taking it out on your current partner now.

You’re not alone!

Betrayal trauma makes us many unpleasant things - jealous, anxious, whiny, needy, insecure.

Trust issues are detrimental for one more key reason: self-sabotage. You don’t want to be hurt ever again, which is why you do your best to kill the potential for something serious before it has even happened.

Sound familiar?

Do you envision yourself dying alone, surrounded by a thousand cats? Your outcome doesn’t have to be this grim.

Betrayal trauma hurts, whether it has been inflicted on you by a parent, a friend, or a romantic partner. This, however, doesn’t mean you’ll never get over it or that you’ll never discover real love.

In Trust Issues in Relationships, you will discover:

  • Why trusting is so hard but is also the greatest thing on earth
  • The number one reason why you have trust issues and what you can do to fix it
  • The F-word in the world of betrayal trauma (that stands for forgiveness, get your mind out of the gutter!)
  • Why sweeping trauma under the carpet never works, and why you have to face your issues
  • Anxious attachment and how it can kill a good relationship
  • One exercise psychologists believe is vital for building trust with your partner
  • The beauty of vulnerability and openness
  • The 10 signs your trust issues have really messed you up
  • And much more...

Right now, it may seem as if the hurt is never going to end. After all, you’ve been cheated so many times in the past that history is bound to repeat itself, isn’t it?

Not if you break the vicious cycle.

Understand that you have agency and can say: “Enough!” Being your own advocate and taking charge can help you understand insecurities, work through past trauma, and get your partner involved in the process.

You deserve love and can make wholesomeness happen, no matter how damaged you’ve been before.

Putting an end to trust issues depends on your inner motivation. If you’re ready to make the switch to happiness and fulfillment, scroll up and click the “buy now” button.

Must listen

First, let me just say that Kara Lawrence is incredible. I had listened to another title by her, and had to get this one. Trust issues are very hard to overcome, but Kara helps you break through all your relationship issues... The ones coming from inside you... So you can mend yourself and have a healthy relationship.

This author is authentic and she seemed to speak from the heart right to me. I feel like she understands all my issues. Her books have helped me see that I can overcome my inability to fully trust someone else with my heart.

I'm not 100% there yet, but with this book I'm a lot closer. I can already see a few bricks fall out of the wall I've put around my heart. I hope my partner will notice the difference.

If you have been betrayed and heartbroken, don't let it bleed into your future relationship. This audiobook will help.

Incredibly transformational

This audiobook really gets down to the roots of trust issues both in a general sense and a personal sense. It has helped me really look within and understand my own trust issues and how to combat and fix them in order to live a more wholesome and fulfilling life when it comes to my relationships. If you have experienced betrayal, this book can be very beneficial. Or even if you are the one on the other side of this (i.e. in a relationship with someone who has been betrayed), it can help you better understand and empathize with your partner. A great listen, and super helpful!

This is great advice!

As suggested in the title, I had reason to not trust people because my family had betrayed my trust in the past, but I was able to work through that with some actionable advice from this book. Very much worth listening to if you have trouble trusting.
