Operating sans trust is how you cultivate trust. You consistently trust the thing/person/whatever more than is warranted, and your level of trust in it rises to the level of its trustability.
It's not exactly a retreat. The "leap of faith" isn't exactly "I take this trust on faith", it's that "I choose to behave as if I live in a reality if it's true, because either it's true and doubting it will destroy it, or it's not true and assuming it is is the way to find out"

Like don't do this with a boss or coworker or whatever - there you can build a high but ultimately bounded degree of trust. Do do this with a romantic partner, a close friend, or yourself, because if those people don't fundamentally have your back they can't fulfil that role.
