Trust And The Empath

This article is about The Empath's Journey in learning how to trust themselves, to have better relationships.
Trust is a big deal for everyone when it comes to relationships, and in particular for the empath, sensitive and intuitive. Empaths generally have trust issues, as a result of trauma they have experienced in the past.
Empaths often attract toxic, and painful relationships. Some empaths, make it their life long mission to stay single, because of their past trauma.
And then, there are those, who want to learn from their past, and move beautifully into a relationship, where it becomes possible for them to blossom and grow and for their partner to do the same.
The trust relationship must begin with YOU. If you can’t trust your decisions about the relationships you attract, then it is important to learn. Learning to trust that the lessons that are brought to you, are meant to teach you how to navigate any relationship. These lessons are not meant to stop you from living a wonderful life. They are meant teach you what kinds of behaviors you will tolerate, and what kinds of behaviors you won’t tolerate.
No human being is perfect, and sometimes, a trigger from the past, can suddenly make you uncomfortable. And there is nothing wrong with that. Those old triggers, are a blessing, when you think about it, because they let us know how far we have come. You can either stay in that discomfort, or you can realize that the discomfort, is a signal, for you to check in with yourself. It’s a signal to check in on what your old tapes are telling you and what you are replaying in your head. It’s a signal to let the past stay in the past where it belongs, and look at what you have right in front of you.
Let’s face it. Not any one of us is perfect. When you begin a new relationship, go into it with the idea that the universe is giving you a gift. It is a glorious gift of a partner who is perfect just the way they are.
Learning to love the moment, be in it, and appreciate it for whatever it brings, is so important, because in that moment of discomfort, you can take a breath and say "It’s ok, that was the past, and I trust myself to open my heart to the possibilities of love.
