@elizabeth That sounds like a good arc. Maybe if something in the plot actually forced him to believe in the unseen, or something indisputable happens that he can’t see, it would be easier. For example if such a person were sucked into a fantasy world and were forced to face that things exist that he can’t see, i.e. unicorns, trolls…I don’t know if it’s a fantasy or not but just an example.

For example if I were to use that fantasy setting, I would set up the character when he is thrown into the plot to reject what he is seeing, assuming all these places and creatures are all a dream, acting bitter toward the land’s inhabitants because of it. He would gradually show signs of softening throughout the plot, and in the climax I would have him be forced to put his complete trust in someone there, and in the resolution it would show him as a changed person because Charlie the Unicorn Banana King saved his life or something like that.

This may be harder if you don’t have an external antagonist or nothing particularly out-of-the-ordinary in your story, like a romance or something, but I assume the general principle of that arc would remain the same.
