Ep19: Trust - the cousin of Anxiety

Without trust in others, we’d be anxious all the time and everything would be a threat. The cancer journey requires a lot of trust in doctors, nurses, pharmacists, technicians. The stakes feel high, we feel vulnerable, and we often have to outsource our healthcare to folks we have very little relationship with.

So, how do we do it? What can we trust in? What can we think about? Is trust a choice? Is trust earned? What level of distrust is normal? Glynn answers some of these questions as he shares his journey through his own treatment and what he considered.

In this episode, we briefly discuss the IPSOS Global Trustworthiness Index. If you’re interested for a look, take a peek using the URL below, or just give it a google.
