I've gotten way better with it. Took enough years. In transistioning to a new provider and realizing how much NOT being altogether forthcoming had screwed me over (which would make a separate post unto itself) the incentive was there.

Among other things, I saw my previous provider's notes. Apparently I attributed more ability to read/see through than she actually had, because there were really serious omissions. It was clear she took me more at my minimizing word than either of us had imagined. I read it and wondered who it was about, you know?

It's not 100% yet, but it's considerably closer. I struggle most with being honest about certain realities of my life. It often seems to be for the sake of protecting others' privacy. But it'd be more to the heart of the matter to admit that it is shame that holds me back.

There it is. Confession day.
