I keep secrets for a living. That’s more or less what a therapist does.
But in my personal life, I don’t want anything to do with them.
I don’t find delight in them whatsoever.
To me, they’re an imposition.
Humans are hardwired to feel valued when someone confides in us.
It scratches an evolutionary itch that can leave us feeling bonded to the person who shared the secret.
But that’s only the case when the secret doesn’t directly impact you.
There’s an old expression: “You’re only as sick as your secrets.”
In this episode, you’ll learn:
AND… I share the reason why I refuse to be on the receiving end of secrets in my personal life.
