Hiding feels like protection, but in reality, it’s a heavy weight that erodes your integrity and robs you of intimacy. In this episode, Judith talks about how secrecy begins with small omissions, grows into deception, and eventually fragments your sense of self. The longer you hide, the more disconnected you become, not just from your partner, but from yourself. Healing starts when you tell the truth, not as punishment, but as a path back to wholeness.
