Rebuilding Trust:
The loss of trust is a challenging and often painful experience, accompanied by a mix of hurt, confusion, anger, and sadness. Navigating these emotions is crucial when attempting to rebuild trust. In moments of distress, we crave for our partners to genuinely understand our perspective and emotions.
Fully grasping how we feel is essential, as it aids in processing negative emotions and moving past them. When partners neglect to make us feel understood, an unconscious cycle of hurt can ensue. We may resort to causing them the same pain we feel, often without realizing it. This lack of mutual understanding frequently leads to a destructive pattern of hurt.
Often, partners don't make the effort to understand because they either don't know how or become defensive. When faced with accusations, people typically respond by:
- Apologizing
- Offering excuses or explanations
- Withdrawing
- Attacking back
These reactions fail to foster real understanding. Before apologies or explanations can be effective, those who feel wronged need to experience genuine empathy. It’s nearly impossible to rebuild trust without this foundation of understanding.
To effectively rebuild or repair trust, it’s vital to consider the situation from your partner's perspective. Acknowledge their feelings directly: recognize their anger, hurt, or confusion, and affirm that their feelings are legitimate and fair. By doing this, you communicate that you truly understand, making it easier to regain trust.
When you make someone feel understood during a conflict, they are more likely to:
- Calm down
- Forgive
- Feel closer
- Be receptive to your perspective
Without taking the time to truly understand your partner’s feelings, rebuilding trust becomes a daunting task. However, when you succeed in making them feel understood, offering an effective apology becomes possible, paving the way for healing and renewed connection.
