Is there not another way to let the secret not have power over you besides sharing with the group? It just seems counter-intuitive to me. I'm sorry but I just don't understand, really, how this could help. But don't listen to me - I'm not an expert in this kind of thing. I'm just sharing my own personal reaction

I totally understand this feeling. I believe the point is to get to a place where I'm able to work through the shame, fear of judgment, etc. and feel confident enough in myself and my experiences to not worry about what others think. To be able to find the strength to handle whatever feedback I get. To understand that the experiences that cause me so much shame do not define me. To realize that I don't need to defend, justify, explain, rationalize.
I am not there yet. I wonder if I ever will be.
