Summary

In today's episode, I'm sharing some thoughts about trust, risk and vulnerability. Many of us would prefer to trust only when we've completely de-risked or have some semblance of certainty that we won't get hurt, but unfortunately this is entirely at odds with the inherent vulnerability of trust.

0:00.0	You're listening to On attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience
0:09.9	relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to
0:15.0	overcome insecurity and build healthy thriving relationships.
0:18.9	I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg, and I'm really glad you're here.
0:28.6	Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.
0:32.3	In today's episode, we're going to be talking
0:34.1	all about trust and the vulnerability of trust and yet it's absolute importance if we
0:40.0	want to build secure relationships that feel peaceful and connected and not riddled with
0:46.9	fear. So today's episode is going to be a short and sweet one and I apologize that it's
0:52.2	a couple of days later than it would usually be.
0:54.6	I'd actually recorded a whole different episode on breakups and discovered that when I went to edit it,
1:00.8	there had been a tech issue and half of it had been lost.
1:03.7	So I was back to the drawing board and decided to pivot and talk about something different.
1:08.8	So I wanted to share some thoughts on this topic today because it came up from a question from a client and I think it's a question that really will resonate with so many people.
1:20.0	People who struggle with anxious attachment, people who struggle with trusting that someone could really be interested in them
1:27.1	trusting in the reliability of a connection that something bad isn't always lurking around the corner. And when we notice those fears coming

1:50.0	That's what I really want to share about today. Before I dive into that, I just wanted to very quickly share and thank you all because we just crossed over 3 million downloads on the podcast.
2:04.0	At the start of this year when I'd set some goals, I put down a goal of 2 million downloads for the
2:09.4	podcast by the end of the year.
2:11.0	And at the time of doing that in the beginning of January, we had about 500,000. We just crossed over 500,000 downloads. So to be sitting here on the 22nd of December with 3 million downloads is pretty incredible and I'm just so so grateful for all of you your ongoing support whether this is the first episode you've ever listened to
2:34.5	or whether you've been here since the beginning.
