Self-disclosure is the process of deliberately
revealing information about oneself that is significant
and that would not normally be known by others.
Disclosure is revealing confidential or secret
information. Disclosure is a larger concept because it
includes confidential information about others as well
as yourself (Petronio, 2002 & pg 161)
