Rebuilding Trust in Yourself After a Toxic Relationship

Toxic relationships often erode your ability to trust yourself. After experiencing manipulation, criticism, or betrayal, you may find yourself questioning your decisions or doubting your instincts. This can leave you feeling uncertain in all areas of life.

Rebuilding trust in yourself starts with recognizing that your feelings and instincts are valid. Begin by making small decisions intentionally and observing how you feel when you honor your needs. Practicing self-compassion and reflecting on past experiences with curiosity rather than judgment can also help.

Therapy can provide guidance and support as you learn to reconnect with your intuition and rebuild confidence. A safe, non-judgmental space allows you to process past experiences and develop strategies for trusting yourself again.
