What if you love someone you don't trust?
from Unprocessed · host Lia Avellino
In this episode I explore the difficult dual reality of caring for someone deeply even though you don't feel secure with them. I share about how I approached a relationship I was drawn to, but every time I left, ruminated on the conversation, questioned myself, and questioned them, and what I decided to do about it. I also explore why this love/don't trust dynamic might be appealing based on early relational experiences. This one is not to be missed!
