Thanks for the clarification Anthony, I think I understand the childhood reference...it's a longing to be in a childlike state where I am taken care off, with no worries or responsibilities?

I think a part of secret keeping has to do with the reason for the secret (yours is professional) and the impact keeping the secret has on a person. For myself it's the volume of unpleasant secrets coupled with the ftf loneliness. It shared this with my therapist and she commented that I am like a psychologist in that I have little ability to talk about ordinary things and an sensitivity to superficiallity that makes friend finding challenging.

On another note, what is the idea behind the journal section? How am I supposed to work with a diary? Is it ongoing or a one-time thing?

Thanks
