Video Transcript

"There are lots of benefits about self disclosure. Some of them I want to talk about right now. It is proven that couples who give a little bit more self disclosure than the regular guy, stay together longer. There's also some other benefits, you gain a lot of knowledge about yourself through self disclosure. Also, it is impossible to have self acceptance without self disclosure. I'm talking about, you know talking to people about the things that you've done, about how you feel about yourself, about how you've lived your life. By disclosing that information, you can begin to except yourself, and who you are. Position to see, self disclosure puts you in a position to see yourself, puts you in a position to see other people, puts you in a position to see things, how they really are. Self disclosure also, makes all relationships closer. I've talked about how couples tend to stay together longer, but all relationships are closer, more intimate bonds are developed with more self disclosure."
