Trust and Safety Insecurity
A fear that people aren’t reliable or safe, which can create hypervigilance, jealousy, and difficulty relaxing into intimacy.
What This Really Means
This insecurity may come from past betrayal, inconsistent care, or cultural environments where trust feels risky.
In reports, the emphasis should be on building safety cues: clear agreements, repair after ruptures, transparency aligned with privacy, and consent-first communication.
Examples
Suspicion when a partner is private with their phone
Difficulty relaxing during sex
Needing clear rules and follow-through to feel safe.
