You asked that as question or presumed?
Trust being rebuilt = “an act of distrust or dishonesty”. That
is my comparison to “rats”. I thought it was clear?
You know what else they say? “if the shoes fits…”

It's already common for subs who have been traumatized in the past to be hard to earn their trust. My question is what happens when that trust is gained but then broken? The work and the effort put in to show the sub they are safe, cherished, understood, and heard. To have been successful in that and gained their trust. What happens when the trust is broken then? Can it be earned again, can the broken trust be put back together? Does how the trust was lost matter?

Anyone with experience from either side would be very welcome. Dom or sub, rebuilding successful or not. I understand my questions to are vague but this is intentional. I would like a wide varieties of experiences to come up from this. I'm sure there are other forums on the topic but I just haven't seemed to find them yet.

As always, thank you in advance for your thoughts, time, and vulnerability to help me in exploring this topic. Resources are also welcome.

That was a question, that’s how I learn stuff.
I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man with sandles and stole them
