Secrets. Lies. Truth. Confessions. We often learn to hide parts of who we are--including the mistakes we've made along the way. Yet, I've found that keeping secrets--the dark, shamed-filled ones--can lead to depression, anxiety, and the tendency to be untrue to the self and others. One lie, even a small one, can lead to a web of lies that makes telling the truth (or even seeing the truth) seemingly impossible. Yet when we face our imperfections--including any untruths we've told--we set ourselves free from anxiety, shame, and doubt. Whether holding a secret about past misdoings, negative habits, health issues, or trauma, the failure to share a vital truth can cause irreparable harm. Indeed, the corrosive effects dark secrets can create substantial damage that is often difficult to heal. Yet, due to factors such as shame and a fear of rejection, many people hide the very truth that could set them free. Join Dr. Carla and Mirror Talk mental health advocate Tobi Ojekunle for a soulful conversation about the courageous, freeing journey of honesty. From white lies and toxic secrets to emotional maturity and acceptance, this episode navigates the challenging realm of betrayal and dishonesty in relationships. When we are loved for who we are now--despite the mistakes we make along the way--we can continue to evolve in the most wonderfully imperfect ways.
