How Honest Should You Be in a Relationship? Truth, Trust & Authenticity - BECOMING UNTRIGGERED | Lyssna här

How honest should you be in a relationship? Is honesty always the best policy, or can telling the truth sometimes create conflict, hurt or even threaten the relationship? In this episode of Becoming Untriggered, we explore whether you are showing up as the same person in every area of your life, or whether old patterns, fear of rejection and the need for safety have taught you to become someone different depending on who you're with.

Should you tell your partner everything about your past? How much should you share about who you were, the things you're ashamed of, and the experiences that shaped you? And when does being honest create deeper trust and connection, versus when do you need to process something for yourself before bringing it into the relationship?
