TMI in The Secret Place

Self-disclosure and openness can help build a sense of trust among two people, but is there a thing called Too Much Information? Oh yes, I believe there is. Over-sharing can make the average person quite uncomfortable and it is often received in a way that is unintended. Today we explore the importance of knowing (and respecting) one's audience. What is appropriate for one person may be completely inappropriate for another, which is why we need to use self-disclosure sparingly if we want to build steady relationships that flourish.

The Secret Place is a boutique channel produced with love (not numbers) to inspire and uplift. Each message begins with a short introduction to a new favorite book. This song is In The Secret Place by Stephanie Bennett on the album Toward the Lamb.
