A framework for trust
Trust is dimensional, not something you have or don't have.
Each dimension asks you to show something different — and each one casts a shadow: the part that doesn't trust, and tries to control instead. Knowing which dimension you're in is the first move.
Three dimensions
The trust we share
Read from the surface down. Each dimension carries a trust — and a shadow, the part that reaches for control instead.
Reading your trust is like reading the water before you jump in — or checking the weather before you step outside.
Name it before you leap.
Once you know the trust, you can choose a plan.
There are three ways forward — and each one has a shadow version, its controlling twin. We name the shadows here; how they work is a conversation for another day.
Direct
Indirect
Boundary
Before, during, after
Read the trust. Make your plan.
Then make sense of what happened.
When we can name the trust and name the plan, we steady ourselves in the moment — and we process it far more clearly once it has passed.
