Have you ever noticed how many therapeutic practices -- whether practiced directly by therapists, or recommended by therapists to be practiced by family members -- have the goal of "helping" traumatized people "learn" to trust authority figures?
This is classic gaslighting. Authority figures are not trustworthy.
Try being kind to traumatized people without any expectation that they will ever trust your authority. Better yet, stop wanting to exert authority over them.
