Trust is like a bank — applied to a Master slave relationship

Trust in slave training:
In his book “It’s Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy” Commander Michael Abrashoff says that personal trust is like a bank. You need to make deposits often and let it build up quantity and interest. He points out that as events happen in life you may well need to spend some of this trust so you need reserves. Spend the trust wisely and save it for emergencies.
This may well be true in slave training. The slave girl you are training may react the wrong way to a training step you take or you might just make a stupid mistake were extra trust in the bank will help.
It is nice to have trust in the bank to spend when that happens.
Trust In a Master/slave relationship
Often the big key to successful slave training is based on the amount of trust she has in her Master.
What composes this “Bank of Trust” that she has is her belief that he has the knowledge and skills to train her correctly, keep her physically and emotionally safe, accepts ownership of her as a slave girl once trained, will structure service to make her useful and productive and has stability in his on life. With this foundation trust can be deposited in the bank.
Trust Bankruptcy in slave training
Most of us that’s been around for a while has seen those spend more trust than they have and spend it to quickly. If you overspend the relationship it is most likely over. So build a trust fund to spend as needed or when you must.
The foundation for building trust with your slave is communication and honesty. It is also important that a slave know that her body is safe with you during play and you have the skills necessary to play wisely. Mistakes happen so credibility is important so that she does not loose confidence in your skills. She only grows if she trust you.






That picture of the “caged girl” is wonderful!
This article is a wonderful addition to the site. Without trust, there is no bond between the Master and slave. The relationship is doomed without trust and communications to allow it to grow and nurture over time. For me personally, trust is the hardest thing to give to someone, especially when you are giving them you life, and heart.
With both slave training and hypnosis trust is important.
Amy, I agree completely with you. Trust and communication eventually creates ultimate respect towards the Master. Without respect it is impossible to submit completely and without reservations.
