How To Rebuild Trust

Written By Alejandro Daniel Pina, LMFT, MS

There is no quick solution, but trust can be regained, after past hurts are repaired. That might sound vague, but there is a ton of work that has to be done, the same way you rebuild a broken wall; brick by brick.

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is essential at helping couples repair past hurts; it’s not just about apologizing, but truly understanding all the different layers of how a partner was effected.

After the work is done between partners to fully understand the pain caused and have a beneficial apology, then the trust can begin to be rebuilt; and that takes repetition over time. Inevitably, with enough repetition, after a thorough deep dive with a EFT-trained couples therapist, trust can be regained.

I’ve been working successfully as a couples therapist for years, I’ve probably seen it all.  I'm Alejandro Daniel Pina, LMFT a California Board of Behavioral Sciences licensed and EFT-Trained Couples Therapist.  Book a free call with your partner:
