“I would just caution about the whole transparency thing,” says Thomas Luttrell, who teaches psychology and counseling at Washington Adventist University in Takoma Park, Md. “I do think that tends to be a western value, not shared globally just yet.

Someone who comes from a less transparent culture might be shocked or scandalized by someone opening up about themselves.”
