Before the course is built
Setup asks about your situation first.
Lesson 1 opens on the moment you describe, and the examples use your role. For this request, expect questions like these.
- What happened, in broad terms: a lie, an affair, a broken promise, or a pattern?
- Do both of you want to repair it?
- How long ago was it, and where are you now?
Right for now
If any of this sounds familiar, start here.
You broke it and do not know how to fix it
Apologies are not working and you are running out of ideas.
You are stuck in the same conversation
The betrayal gets relitigated and nothing moves.
Course arc
Where the course goes, in order.
Cadence writes the lessons for you, so the exact path follows your answers. This is the ground a course built from this sentence covers.
01 / 06What trust is
Predictability, reliability and faith, and which was broken.
The breach
Full acknowledgement, and why partial honesty restarts the clock.
Rebuilding through behaviour
Consistency, transparency and small kept promises.
The hurt partner's part
Allowing repair without pretending it did not happen.
Setbacks
Triggers, bad days and the return of doubt.
Time
What realistic recovery looks like, and how you know it is working.
What changes
What you will be able to do, and what you will stop believing.
You will be able to
Understand how trust rebuilds
Know that it is behaviour over time, not a conversation.
Know your part
See what the person who broke trust must do, and what the other must allow.
Set realistic expectations
Understand the timeline and the setbacks that are normal.
Ideas this course corrects
Trust is rebuilt by apologising
It is rebuilt by behaviour over time. An apology opens the door; it does not walk through it.
If it takes this long, it is not working
Rebuilding trust after a serious breach commonly takes a year or more. Slow is normal.
Course questions
