Terms of Disclosure

"To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable; to make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength." 
~ Criss Jami

Disclosure is applied to the helping relationship when it is of greatest benefit to a client. For example, telling a student struggling in math, that I too, found the subject difficult in school is an appropriate means of sharing.

My role is to support clients in peeling back their layers and effectively support their healing and I never permit a compromise on authenticity or avoidance of identifying true intention. 

"Tell the truth about any situation and you are delivered from lack of progress, but if you become hypocritical or lying, you may be in bondage for life." ~ Auliq-Ice

Although, best practice places limitations on self disclosure in professional relationships, in personal relationship interactions, sharing takes on a different context. 

True and lasting intimacy cannot be achieved without honest self disclosure at deeper levels
It plays against any advantage to self or another to intentionally false advertise, unless of course, the goal is a sinister one.

"It takes strength and courage to admit the truth." ~ Rick Riordan

The only way to see our wounds clearly is through focused energy applied to the task of personal excavation of the most authentic version of self. An effective helping professional lives in a constant state of evolvement, as well.

Commitment to honest self disclosure breeds increasing enlightenment and a life grounded in truth of universal purpose. 

Love yourself and your fellow travellers enough to leave no internal stone unturned.

What version of yourself have you been presenting in personal relationships?
Does revealing the truest version of self to others frighten you? Why? Why not?
Have you been willing to examine yourself realistically at the deepest levels of vulnerability?

"We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be." 
~ Mary Sarton
