Is It Just Me? : Why does being vulnerable feel so embarrassing afterwards?

Opening up to someone can feel like a relief in the moment, but for many people, it's often followed by feelings of embarrassment, self-doubt, or regret.

On Is It Just Me?, producer Alexandra Parada hears from Colin Toh, Counsellor at Nook Counselling and Therapy, about why being vulnerable can feel so exposing, how past experiences shape our response to emotional openness, and how we can learn to choose courage over comfort when building meaningful relationships.
