It describes a painful uncertainty many of us feel every day as we try to engage with other people. Acts of betrayal from our pasts can lead us into long cycles of wariness and mistrust. An inability to trust wisely can lead us to loneliness and isolation, or worse--putting our trust in the wrong people too easily. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe good news is that the ability to trust is both a choice and a skill that you can develop.

Only as an adult can you learn how and when to trust more wisely. This book is a warm and friendly guide to achieving greater self-confidence and deeper levels of intimacy and trust.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHelped along by the book's exercises and ideas for self-reflection, you'll begin to develop new patterns of trust.
