Written By Luana Rose

According to Dr. John Gottman the number one issue in relationships is trust and betrayal.

Do both need to be integrated to be able to trust others? In this video you'll learn the difference between somatic trust and cognitive trust and why we may have a hard time trusting people when we have a history of danger, hurt and betrayal in relationships.
