A problem of trust
A lack of trust will affect the strength of our social, mental, physical and emotional health. To have trust is to have faith that someone has your back. Where we fail to trust our judgment, or our gut instinct, we won’t trust ourselves, therefore we will resist trusting others.

Running scared
Running scared. We run because we think we can’t cope, that we won’t cope. We feel intimated, panicked, as if we’re fleeing, giving up.
We don’t think about our problems in any great detail. We don’t think about or equate that our problems need solutions, or that they need clarification. In our mind, not everything we deal with needs to …
