Why You Should Talk About What Is Bothering You

‘Being able to talk about something that bothers us, quickly, keeps problems from growing larger and prevents us from trusting people who are not trustworthy.’- Dr. Henry Cloud

Whatever it is that is bothering you, not talking about it is not going to make it better. It is going to make things even worse.

All you need to do is talk to someone you trust, someone who is not going to post your life on Instagram.

Do not keep it to yourself. Everything is going to be okay. It will go away. But it won’t happen if you do not seek help from other people. If you do not seek help, nothing is going to change.

It won’t happen overnight. Just be patient with yourself, and everything is going to be alright.

The Power Of Trust

‘Trust begins not with convincing someone to trust you; it starts with someone feeling that you know them.’- Dr Henry Cloud

If I don’t know you, I can’t trust you. If I can’t trust you, then I can’t work with you.

‘Real trust is built not only through understanding but making sure the other party’s motive is right, meaning that they are for your good.’- Dr. Henry Cloud

Yes, when it comes to building trust, understanding matters. But it is not enough. Before you commit yourself to anything, make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. If you do not feel good about it, then it is not good for you.
