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.
