Speaking of Psychology · Encore: How living with secrets can harm you, with Michael Slepian, PhD · 5 Aug 2026 podcast

So what about telling your secrets to a therapist?

Is that sharing part of what makes therapy work for people?

What about people whose jobs require them to keep secrets?

And I don't mean proprietary information, but people who are spies, for example, or journalists who agree to protect their sources on pain of going to jail, or lawyers who might represent somebody they know is guilty.

Is keeping a secret because of your job the same as keeping a more personal secret?

Is there something in the psychological makeup of somebody who can be a spy, for example, and can keep secrets and still perform every day?

I mean, has anybody looked at that?

Can we tell when people are keeping secrets?

I know there's been research into whether somebody is lying, but are there giveaways when somebody is keeping some information from you?

How would you know?

So you start your new book with a personal story about how you learned a significant family secret that your parents had kept from you until well into your adulthood when you were already doing research on the psychology of secrets.

Can you tell that story and how has that affected the work that you're doing now?

And what precipitated your father's telling you when he told you?

And did he know that this was an important day for you and that you had just finished an interview for a job?

So what next?

What do we need to know about secrets?

What are you looking into going forward?

Well, thank you for joining me today, Dr. Selepian.

This has been really interesting, and I promise I won't tell anyone what we talked about.

Thanks for having me.
