Everyone agrees trust matters, yet very few people look at what it actually is. I believe it's the man's responsibility to go first and be trustworthy in how he lives. Dawn shares how her old idea of trust was really a fear of getting hurt, and how it has become complete confidence that I've got her while still accepting my humanness. I talk about learning to trust myself again after years of feeling stuck, and Dawn tells the moment in our kitchen when she realized she wasn't trusting me because she didn't trust herself.
We get into how learning to speak up gave Dawn the self-trust to go deeper into submission, why speaking up when I hurt her is one of the rules of our relationship, and the morning she asked for my attention back. We talk about giving each other permission to change, the crabs in a bucket, and owning it every time I fell short. I share the faith it took to keep leading her when she disappeared inside herself, and why a man's trust in himself starts with self-worth.
Trust in each other and in yourselves is what lets the whole dynamic open up, and Rapture is where Dawn and I teach how we built ours, from speaking up to giving each other room to grow. Start it here:
