What is it?
This exercise turns a broad wish for trust into a small, freely agreed commitment and an honest check-in.
Why would I need this?
Practice discussing reliability without demanding proof through constant monitoring.
Show me.
- Choose one realistic commitment both people understand.
- Confirm what each person is agreeing to and what is outside the agreement.
- Discuss how to communicate if the plan changes.
- Review what happened without treating one example as proof about the entire relationship.
Try it.
Use an invented plan for a Saturday visit. Decide how either person will notify the other if the timing changes.
Watch out for this.
This is not a requirement to resume contact, a relationship, or intimacy. Each person can set boundaries and decline.
Explain this another way
Focus on one small task: use small agreements when rebuilding trust. You can practice aloud, on paper, or with someone you trust.
Show me an example
HAB practice example: Jordan and Sam agree to confirm the visit Friday. Neither promises that one visit will resolve every concern.
