Privacy and secrecy in relationships can be a hot button topic. How much is too much or too little? When are privacy and secrecy okay or not okay? How can I trust my partner if they keep secrets? Aren’t we supposed to be an open book with our partner? We are here to help answer all of these questions and more! 

Join us as we discuss privacy and secrecy in romantic partnerships, including what healthy privacy and secrecy look like and how to avoid common pitfalls. Healthy relationships include maintaining a personal identity and things that are just our own, including secrets. In healthy relationships, privacy and secrecy are not only important in protecting space to be our individual selves, but also in building trust and safety in the relationship. Let us explain how!
