Self-disclosure is when a person shares information about themselves that they they would not normally share, with someone else. Self-disclosure can be made by conscious or unconscious decisions to do so. Some examples of this would be telling a counselor personal information about yourself because you feel that they can help you. Self disclosing is also used in relationships when individuals know their partners on a more personal level, and it is used to build intimacy as well. Someone with an STD would also want to self-disclose to their partner that they have a disease before doing anything.

Someone should self-disclose that they have an STD before beginning a sexual relationship. Someone might self-disclose they had a DWI arrest if they're asked to drive teens to an event.

Therapeutic alternatives to self-disclosure include practicing active listening, empathy, and reflection in therapy sessions. Therapists can focus on validating clients' experiences and emotions without sharing personal details. Encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and feelings can also promote healing without the need for self-disclosure.
