As a psychotherapist and executive coach for some 30 years now I have run into a number of people who have helped to shape my character because I was willing to trust them yes taking risks can be dangerous but isn't that what life is all about living to the fullest learning from others and finding your own way. Trust a way, powerfully, courageously and lovingly would be my advice. You have nothing to lose, really. And what you have to gain for taking that risk is you might just discover who you really are .
