The Boundaries of Trust with Kaitlyn McCarty

Do you find yourself trusting too easily? Do you have a hard time trusting anyone? In Episode 19, Karrie and Kaitlyn McCarty reveal that even though they found themselves at opposite ends of the trust spectrum, they both longed for the same thing; an inner circle where they could be vulnerable and loved as their true self. Kaitlyn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Freedom Movement Facilitator, shares her insight on practical ways to begin to create an inner circle of trust, as well as set boundaries for people outside of that inner circle.

Kaitlyn reflects on how she often found herself working hard to feel loved by people and to make herself “fit” into systems. She believed her open vulnerability could build safe spaces for everyone and that it would allow her to control the outcome of a relationship. Something changed when Kaitlyn found herself fighting a system she could not allow herself to fit into and it led her on a journey to finding a true inner circle. It required her to put boundaries in place for herself and redefined what it meant to trust as a more whole and integrated person.

Kaitlyn is also the creator of Peace Practices, a four-week journey designed to help you explore the rhythms of your body and emotions. Through a blend of education, spiritual truth, and somatic practices, you’ll learn how your nervous system works, how God designed your body, and how to honor your emotions without needing to “fix” them.
