What is trust not? Trust is not a feeling that someone else creates in us with their actions.
Some of us think we can trust people only when they are doing what we want them to do so we don’t feel uncomfortable things we don’t want to feel. Additionally, trust is not using other people as our emotional security blankets.
Our brains love predictability and safety so when someone doesn’t behave in the ways we want them to we can feel unsafe, or in others words, we may ‘freak out’ a bit!
Kel from Expansive Connection joins Mr Jones this episode to help us understand what trust is, what trust is not, and how to work through what appear to be trust issues with your partner.

We are Mr. & Mrs. Jones, and we gotta thing goin’ on! The We Gotta Thing podcast began in 2014 as a way for us to chronicle our journey though the swinger lifestyle and share content that is meant to be interesting, useful, entertaining, and supportive of others who are in or considering entering the lifestyle. We have released an episode every month (with one exception) ever since, offering insight on relevant topics and sometimes comical glimpses into the ups and downs associated with being a married couple that swings, along with a sexy snapshots of our experiences.
If you listen straight through from Episode 1 to the present, you’ll undoubtably notice our growth as we navigate the journey. (You’ll also notice that our podcasting equipment and skills get a lot better after the first few episodes!)
