A Discussion of Suspicion and Confirmation

Suspicion destroys feelings of trust. When substance abuse is eventually confirmed, thoughts of betrayal enter the mind. The lies and manipulation suddenly become clear and anger and resentment obscure judgment. There is a cliché that is shared in various forms that states, “Trusting someone is my decision, the proving me right is their choice.” 

Trying to pack the complexity of our relationships into a cliché isn’t the answer. We are all more than the twelve words above. The only way to accept these words as truth is to stop thinking about anything except judgment and blame.  

In this episode we discuss how to handle suspicion and confirmation with a clear head.
