I think there is an astounding lack of appreciation in our culture for privacy as well as for clear personal boundaries. People need both to realize their full potential.Gus Van Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126749051688217781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8839412.post-49571008910503942992010-12-11T17:11:53.787-06:002010-12-11T17:11:53.787-06:00Love that Dr. Hurd column.

His previous posts on journaling are what got me started on it, and the benefits are not to be underestimated.<br /><br />I think the absolute <i>worst</i> thing I could do with my journal would be to let anyone see it. Even--especially--those I am closest to. At that point, it would cease to be about introspection and become a dishonest and dysfunctional form of communication. I wouldn't feel free to write what needs to be written there if there was any danger of exposure. Besides, my journal would not even make sense to other people. It's full of things that are so intimate that I could not explain or justify them to others if I tried.kelleynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765375080995281395noreply@blogger.com
