Nothing is more precious than the rare, exquisite, and most utterly unrepeatable essence that is you. When you offer yourself to another human being –by revealing yourself, by disclosing your fears and dreams, the losses that have shaped and transformed you ---- you give the greatest gift that you can, the gift of your unique essence.
Far from being selfish, true self-disclosure is a miracle of intimacy, for in revealing your tender, intricate inner self, you invite the person to whom you are speaking not only to see who you are, but also to see himself.
Sexual abuse has always been a secret, something we hide from others. By sharing our secret we empower others to do the same and healing begins.
