How Does Psychosis Affect Trust in Other People?

[Hazel]

Psychosis can influence how someone interprets others' intentions, making trust difficult during and sometimes after episodes. How has trust been affected by your experiences? What helps rebuild a sense of safety in relationships?

I've never experienced psychosis myself, but I know people who have. From what I've seen, rebuilding trust takes time, patience, and consistency. Feeling listened to without judgment, knowing people will be honest, and having steady support seem to help create a stronger sense of safety in relationships.
