Caring about someone can bring difficult questions: How much should I share? Is this a reasonable boundary? What would help me trust again?
Navigating Trust™ offers a thoughtful space to explore those questions. Created by Dr. Maxine Goring-Rodriguez, this digital companion brings together practical guidance, reflection exercises, and everyday tools to help you approach relationships with greater clarity and self-respect.
Grounded in the SoulCentements™ Soul-Centered Mental Wellness Model, it connects spirituality and personal meaning with Healthy Sense of Self, Psychological Flexibility, Perspective, and Daily Maintenance.
Inside, you’ll explore how to:
-
Recognize your needs before agreeing to a request.
-
Communicate boundaries with clear, practical language.
-
Build trust gradually through observed behavior.
-
Separate what happened from the meaning your mind added.
-
Make room for guilt or uncertainty while honoring a reasonable limit.
-
Practice accountability and consider repair when safe and freely chosen.
-
Maintain supportive connections and routines beyond one relationship.
-
Recognize when confidential support and safety need to take priority.
Your four-piece companion set includes:
-
Start Here: Simple directions to choose your focus and begin at your own pace.

Companion Guide: Accessible explanations, relatable examples, and boundary scripts.
-
Guided Workbook: A personal check-in, trust reflections, boundary planning, grounding practice, and reusable daily and weekly reflection pages.
