While trust can be helpful, I don't see that trust is in any way a "prerequisite." One can apply the principle of charity, without developing trust with another. One can strive for objectivity, without trust. One can allow that they might be wrong, without trust. One can be aware of their biological responses to their own thoughts and feelings, and the consequences these have, without trusting another. Edit: Trust may (?) be a sufficient condition, but is not a necessary condition.
