From author and first-time publisher Sarah Michelle comes a book written not from a place of expertise, but from the middle of the struggle.Have you ever ignored the quiet unease in your stomach because you couldn't prove anything was wrong? Have you forgiven someone before you finished hurting, just to make the conflict go away? Do you find yourself staying loyal to the memory of who someone used to be, long after the person in front of you has changed?Signs You Trust Too Easily is a gentle, honest conversation about the ten patterns that keep soft-hearted people trapped in cycles of disappointment. Sarah Michelle doesn't offer clinical advice or a list of rigid rules. She offers something rarer: the raw honesty of someone who has lived through every single one of these patterns herself.This book explores why we confuse attention with intention, why we make excuses for people who never apologize, and why we keep handing our trust to those who haven't earned it. More importantly, it offers permission—permission to trust yourself first, to let the pattern be the proof, and to finally honor the feeling in your stomach you've been ignoring.This is not a book about building walls. It's a book about learning where to place your trust so your open heart can finally feel safe.
