Confession as Accusation -- Wisdom Wednesdays

[Ai assisted:] In this Sept 10, 2025 episode of Wisdom Wednesdays I dive into a topic sparked by a recent podcast: "confession as accusation." I explore how confessing my own faults can sometimes mask accusations toward others, reflecting on my own experiences with this subtle, often deceptive behavior. I unpack the psychological layers behind it, its impact on honesty and trust, and why it can feel like a gray area in communication. I invite you to reflect on whether you've encountered this it too and what is to be done about it
