SELF-DISCLOSURE:

Learning to gently reveal who we are is
how we open ourselves up to love and
intimacy in our relationships.

Many of us have hidden under a
protective shell, a casing that prevents
others from seeing or hurting us.

We do not want others to see who we
really are.

We may be afraid they might judge us, go
away, or not like us.

Being vulnerable can be frightening,
especially if we have lived with people

who abused, mistreated, manipulated, or
did not appreciate us.

Little by little, we learn to take the risk of
revealing ourselves. We pick safe people,
and we begin to disclose bits and pieces
about ourselves.

Sometimes, out of fear, we may withhold,
thinking that will help the relationship or
will help others like us more.

That does not mean we tell all to everyone
at once. That can be a self-defeating
behavior too.

To trust that people will love and like us if
we are exactly who we are is frightening.
But it is the only way we can achieve what
we want in relationships.
