According to many psychologists, telling secrets has a positive effect on people who confess, because to keep a secret requires a great deal of mental work. Actively trying to suppress thoughts merely brings them to mind, whereas sharing secrets frees the mind to focus on other things, and breaks the cycle of worry.
Common sense tells us it's best to confess one's sins to those who can't turn around and bite us in the ass. So, tell us everything -- then go and sin some more! We'll be here. |
