How acceptance creates trust

When we are accepting of our thoughts and the feelings those thoughts create, we find ourselves more open to share what we're thinking and feeling.   That openness that comes with greater self acceptance inspires others to respond in kind.  I've found through the years, the more open I am with others, the more open they are with me.  When I exude acceptance, people feel safe and supported in trusting me enough to open up. Part of the acceptance that creates trust is empathy.  We all can reflect back on times when we feel "heard", when we feel "you get me".  We love and trust people we feel listen deeply to us and respond with empathy and kindness.  Everyone wants  people in their life who they feel give them the support and acceptance of being safe to open up to. When I coach people, I am very open with my clients.  This creates the trust that supports maximum value.  To schedule a free introductory coaching session, books your time at https://calendly.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com
