Trust

"We don't let go into trust until we've exhausted our egos." Rob Lehman

Trust.  In my psychological practice, as well as when I do life coaching, clients often present with trust issues.  Who among us in the human race does not have trust issues?  After all, we were all raised by fallible and imperfect parents who did not always meet every possible need we had.  In reaction to those unmet needs, we sometimes bolster our egos, which is exactly the wrong thing to do.  We need, instead, to quiet our egos in order for trust to find a foothold in our souls.  Ego does not want us to do that, because then ego is dethroned; but, if we are to become fully developed human beings, ego must be sacrificed.  For trust to flourish, we must be willing to extinguish ego.
