What happens when you lose trust in a relationship<\/a>? How should you repair trust in a relationship when it’s lost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author Stephen Covey says trust is your most valuable currency in a relationship. However, in society, Covey notes that high-trust relationships are still undervalued. To repair trust in a relationship when it’s broken, Covey believes forgiveness and demonstrating authenticity are two of the most important factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn Covey’s advice for repairing trust in a relationship the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What to Do When Trust Is Lost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a trustworthy person, you consistently demonstrate your values, and people notice. This consistency builds trust because people know what to expect from you. <\/strong>On the other hand, Covey notes that disrupting this consistency with a violation of your nature (stealing, lying, cheating, and so on) is the fastest way to lose someone\u2019s trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgiving Breaches of Trust<\/strong>

As Covey explains, your nature (he calls it character) is intrinsic. Therefore, it should be constant despite changing circumstances. This could help explain why people tend to forgive breaches of trust involving competence more readily than breaches of trust involving character<\/a>. 

People can change their competence with practice or by learning new skills<\/a>. Their character, on the other hand, is more difficult to change. Therefore, if someone violates your trust with a transgression of character, it is reasonable to assume that they\u2019ll do it again, and you might decide not to trust them. 

For example, say you are working with a fitness trainer you selected because of her empathy. One day she mistakenly chooses an exercise that reaggravates an old injury of yours, and she feels bad. You forgive her breach of competence because she has been a great trainer, and you know she cares about you. 

On the other hand, say one day you tell her a particular movement hurts, and she rolls her eyes and calls you a wimp. Her lack of empathy at that moment makes you question her empathy and her nature, and you might feel uncomfortable working with her again. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Repair Trust in a Relationship With Authenticity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To repair trust in a relationship, you should strive for an authentic communication style. Covey explains that people should come away from conversations with you with the right impression of your intentions and motivations.<\/strong> He notes that people are good at spotting inauthentic communication, for example, spinning or telling only parts of the truth. Unfortunately, these tactics waste time, and you pay a hefty trust tax on all future communication when people don\u2019t see you as authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Fibs Diminish Trust<\/strong>

The evolutionary drive for self-preservation makes us attuned to inconsistencies between what people say and what they do. When people don\u2019t mean what they say or don\u2019t do what they say they will, we learn to trust what they say less. Over time, even seemingly inconsequential fibs, inconsistencies, or omissions can diminish trust<\/a>. 

For example, say you tell your friend you\u2019ll pick her up at 8:00 but don\u2019t show up until 8:20. If this happens once, your friend might simply be more attuned to your timing the next time. If it happens repeatedly, your friend will likely start mentally adding 20 minutes to any meet-up time you set because she doesn\u2019t trust that you will be there when you say you will. If this causes strain in your relationship, your small timing inconsistencies could result in a significant trust tax.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Covey notes that being willing to address taboo or unpleasant topics with open and authentic communication helps to repair trust in a relationship<\/strong>. Additionally, since emotionally charged or uncomfortable situations can negatively impact interpersonal interactions and productivity, addressing them within your family or organization can result in major trust dividends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Part of maintaining an authentic communication style involves leaving space for emotion in emotional conversations<\/a>. Conversations about difficult or emotional issues are likely to make participants emotional. But stifling or ignoring these emotions for the sake of objectivity makes these conversations less authentic and potentially less productive.)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transparency is another way individuals can show authenticity and repair trust in a relationship. For example, a company could lay out its pay structure and promotion track to give its employees a clear sense of what they can expect from their careers. Covey explains that the more details you share, the more you reduce unknowns, and the easier it becomes to trust you.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Other experts add that transparency can be a great way to build trust when you aren\u2019t sure where else to start<\/a>. Transparency projects openness and honesty and can make you seem more approachable. For leaders, transparency is a great way to earn respect, start building trust<\/a>, and create an open and team-oriented culture in an organization<\/a>. As Covey notes, simply being transparent about wanting to build trust in an organization can be a great way for a new leader to begin building or repairing trust in relationships.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apologies That Promote Trust<\/strong>

Apologizing for mistakes can help repair trust in a relationship<\/a>, but not all apologies are equally effective. Research from two studies of over 700 participants suggests six aspects of an effective apology<\/a>: showing regret, offering an explanation, taking responsibility<\/a>, showing remorse, sharing a plan to fix the issue, and asking for forgiveness. 

The results of the study on apologies align with Covey\u2019s discussion of building trust. Of the six elements of an apology, taking responsibility\u2014which we can think of as showing humility\u2014and sharing a plan to fix the issue\u2014which we can think of as demonstrating our ability\u2014were the two most important elements of an effective apology. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
