@Malcolm_Ocean @visakanv This is a reassuring thought. I've always felt that it meant being willing to trust again like I did before, and I never could see how that might happen when the pattern of bad experiences lead to the logical conclusion that I shouldn't.

@Mimi_Peacock @visakanv fuck I forgot "trust what you trust" and "distrust what you distrust" there's never a going back to before but there is an integrating the distrust with the trust, developing your self-trust, and becoming ready to explore again
