I couldn't say this any better than someone working on freeing herself from a sick relationship with an addict who was refusing to get better:
"I had a headache – maybe because my head was too full of thoughts? I felt better after talking and getting stuff out of my head and into the open.
Secrets can make us physically sick!"
Whatever secrets we carry - in the name of privacy, dignity, self-reliance, shame, or loyalty - weigh us down and distract us from our true nature.
Guarding secrets puts us on guard, we are tentative about revealing anything about ourselves and our loved-ones.
Secrets spawn lies to protect them, and lies create more guardedness, isolation and mistrust.
I like this saying: Always tell the Truth. That way, you don’t have to remember what you said. ~ Mark Twain
And this: Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the Truth. ~Benjamin Disraeli
