“Recounting our experiences gives us mastery over them. Whether in the
context of psychotherapy, talking to an AA sponsor, confessing to a
priest, confiding in a friend, or writing in a journal, our honest
disclosure brings our behavior into relief, allowing us in some cases to
see it for the first time. This is especially true for behaviors that involve
a level of automaticity outside of conscious awareness.”
