The Burden Of Secrets

The problem with secrets is that they never seem to go away. The way to get rid of secrets is to move them out of their “secret” status and tell someone. Secret burdens carried for weeks, months, years and sometimes decades create unbelievable amounts of shame and guilt in our lives. The shame, the guilt and the burden can all be lifted from your shoulders. Talk to me. I will not judge you.

Do your secrets sound like these:

• Ever been physically or sexually abused?
• Do you have things in your past that you have never told anyone?
• Do you participate in activities that bring about shame and guilt?
• Have you ever lied to anyone about your website activity?
• Do you have a secret email account?
• Have you ever paid for “cyber sex”?
• Have you ever downloaded images onto floppies or CDs in order to avoid a copy of the image on your hard drive?
