Core Trust: Rebuilding Trust After Addiction

A gentle four-lesson mini-course for families loving someone through addiction — with a companion workbook to write in.

Before you decide, listen to the short introduction. It’s free, there’s no sign-up, and it’s the gentlest way to feel whether this is for you.

Note from Recovery Mum Faye: Due to a stroke 8 years ago, I use a carefully trained AI voice clone to read these lessons. It allows me to sit at the kitchen table with you and share my hard-won wisdom clearly, without physical limitations getting in the way.”

If someone you love has an addiction, you’ll know how it feels when trust gets shaken: you swing between hope and dread, sometimes in the same hour, and the question ‘do I even trust them?’ never quite settles. Core Trust helps you make sense of it — and start rebuilding, beginning with you.

Stop asking "Do I trust them?"

Start asking "Which part of trust am I rebuilding?"

What's included

  • A free introduction + 4 audio lessons (3-5 minutes each)
  • A full transcript of every lesson
  • A 17-page companion workbook to write in
  • Instant digital download - yours to keep
Three printed workbook pages from the Core Trust course fanned out on a wooden table beside a small potted plant
  • Lesson 1 — My Trust Map: Stop drowning in whole-system anxiety. Pinpoint exactly which parts of trust are broken, and which parts are still safe.
  • Lesson 2 — The Five Dimensions: Use a clear 1-to-5 tracking scale for Safety and Honesty. This lets you see tiny, real progress without letting blind hope take over.
  • Lesson 4 — Micro-Commitments: Use the built-in planner to design tiny, doable promises that build reliable reliability, step-by-step.
