ABSTRACT
Our authors shared their stories honing in on different aspects of what each believed to be judicious self-disclosure meant to be instrumental in the formation of a healing relationship. Therapists considered the whole of what was known about them, recognizing that what is disclosed goes far beyond what is said in words within a therapy office. Being aware of possible errors of too much, too little, or unattuned self-disclosure, therapists were willing to attend to and repair ruptures, evolving to become more flexible and skillful at using themselves, the instrument of their work.
