...and then there was the second part, "We must be entirely honest with somebody..."
Bean's notes:
- So, when asked "how are you?", try to give an honest assessment. However, you might get some weird reactions if you're not well, and you admit this..
- The amount and type of disclosure depends partly on our "role" in the situation - i.e., employers are usually not paying us to bring our family or relationship issues into the job, or even ALL of our education and/or past experiences
- ...and partly on how much trust has been established with the people we're disclosing to - if some one has gossiped about what we've shared with them, is it prudent or wise to share our secrets with them?
- and, of course, even though Facebook connects you with many of your close friends, it's not a wise idea to use it for therapy sessions; because you really do not know who may see what you say, now or later in the future...
