Great article, I’ve always been a believer in brutal honesty, but actually most people (including ourselves) often don’t want to hear it, the truth hurts as they say. But in terms of self-care, boundaries etc it’s absolutely just, and comes with conscience and tact. Making it more ‘radical honesty’ than brutal. Saying it how it is but with respect both for self and the other person. The THINK guide is a great tip for shaping that. If we’re not honest with people, if we don’t challenge, give feedback, it can have a damaging affect on ourselves – not cool. And we of course can’t allow for, predict or feel responsible for others reactions to our radical honesty. As long as we have good intentions and learn healthy ways of communicating we’ve done our bit and can prevent damage to ourselves whilst remaining respectful to others too. The truth does hurt, but that hurt is often something needed in order to heal, grow etc etc.
