THOUGHTS & MIND: TRUSTING YOURSELF AGAIN
Rebuilding confidence in your thoughts, feelings and decisions
Trauma can leave people questioning their judgement, feelings, memories and choices. This interactive Thoughts & Mind guide explores how self-trust can be rebuilt without expecting perfect certainty or perfect decisions.
Inside the guide:
• Why trauma can damage confidence in your own judgement.
• How gaslighting, coercion and repeated dismissal can increase self-doubt.
• The difference between listening to feelings and treating every feeling as an instruction.
• Intuition, trauma alarms and checking present-day evidence.
• Common signs that reassurance and self-doubt are taking over.
• A five-part interactive decision check covering observations, evidence, values, choices and learning.
• Practical self-trust experiments using preferences, boundaries, reversible decisions and reflection.
• How to use advice and support without surrendering your own judgement.
• Guidance on when professional trauma support may help.
• A fillable personal Self-Trust Plan.
• A tailored message from Maggie, books, resources and clinical sources.
The interactive PDF encourages readers to rebuild confidence through small, manageable choices. It does not suggest that self-trust means always being right; instead, it focuses on developing a fair decision-making process and confidence in the ability to learn, repair and adjust.
