paco - I get it. I'm with you. We come at this from our own perspective and I don't know that we can ever truly see things through another's eyes.
Gaining perspective through others and conversations is always helpful to get out of our own heads. I do think it builds our empathy if we try to see from our W's perspective. But do we really know what they're going through? I feel like we're still speculating but just changing the lense.
You say that one must have self-awareness of what and how to disclose and that's true. But they also must have the desire. Sometimes I think for self-preservation it is easier to hold the pain tight to your chest and not invite anyone else in. I wonder how that might play into the equation.
