Trust is an integral part of all relationships and while rapport can be developed in a relatively short time, trust must be developed over a longer period of time.

Establishing trust expands upon rapport and transforms an interaction to an even higher level of communication.

It is possible for you to feel physically close and psychologically distant at the same time, and the reverse is true as well.
