Hidden Brain 
About this episode
<p>It’s human nature to hide parts of ourselves that produce shame or anxiety. We tend to skip over details that could change how others perceive us. But no matter how big or small our secret, it will often weigh on our minds, and not for the reasons you might expect. This week on <em>Hidden Brain</em>, we talk with psychologist <a href="http://www.columbia.edu/~ms4992/">Michael Slepian</a> about the costs of secret keeping.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
