Self-trust is the ability to believe in your own thoughts, emotions, instincts, experiences, and decision-making. A lot of women leaving high-demand religion struggle with self-trust because they were taught to prioritize external authority over their own internal knowing. Over time, this can create chronic self-doubt and fear around making decisions independently.
Rebuilding self-trust often involves learning that your emotions, needs, boundaries, and experiences are valid and worthy of attention.
