Without confidentiality, it would be very difficult to build enough trust in the relationship between you and your therapists (or coach), so that you felt safe enough to talk about your deepest feelings. It can be hard enough making the decision to talk in the first place without the fear that someone else might find out about it.

The big push around communications skills is to encourage people to act authentically.
Except that's a paradox isn't it? In the same way as I've defined what inter-personal communication is, what do I mean by intra-personal communication?
Simply put, it's how you talk to yourself. I thought it useful, and prudent, to really define what I mean when I say inter-personal communication... as for me, while it's a simple phrase, and pretty much encapsulates half of what I do, there's a lot contained within it.
High level, it's about how one person puts across their message to another, and how that message is received. This is a very topical subject given the reaction from me, and many, towards the scripted answers given by the seven leaders in the only debate of this General Election.
