Going Deep: How to Repair a Broken Relationship and Renew Trust
In this week’s episode, we’re bringing you an often-requested topic: How do you repair a broken relationship and renew the trust?
Once you’ve been broken, betrayed, lied to, or cheated on — whatever it is — betrayal is betrayal. And once you feel like your trust has been broken, it can feel like a daunting task to get back to a healthy, thriving relationship.
So, in this episode, we have three easy tips to help you restore all your trust in your partnership. We talk about our own experiences rebuilding trust; some listeners’ and friends’ experiences with rebuilding trust; and we give you many practical, actionable tips on how to apply these tips to your life ASAP.
Before tuning into this episode, we highly recommend you take a listen to our previous Going Deep episodes on our story and how we rebuilt trust in our relationship.
