Honesty is the bedrock of our emotional development, the primary tool for developing a strong sense of self. Our level of self-honesty dictates how much we’ll be able to see, face, work with, and change as we reach for developing a clearer sense of self. If we can’t look at our strengths and weaknesses honestly, we have little hope of truly transforming our relationship to ourselves and to our life. As therapists, our personal degree of honesty greatly impacts the depth of our work with clients.
