English term

When in trouble, self-disclose on the double!

English to Polish Other Other
'One of my former colleagues used to give the following advice about relationship conflict: “When in trouble, self-disclose
on the double!” He was suggesting that self-disclosure of what we have called hidden emotions and thoughts can often alter the conflict you find yourselves in or can help you recover from an immediately preceding conflict.' A. Christensen 'Reconcilable differences'

Oczywiście może być i bez rymu...

Geopiet, rymujesz nawet. Możesz umieścić odpowiedź.
Does self-disclose mean 'wyznać uczucia' but not because of feeling guilty?
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jul 11, 2014:
Never, geopiet, never you. Super.
geopiet Jul 11, 2014:
kiedy znajdziesz się w opałach wyznaj wszystko, tak od zaraz

:)

re: not you, geopiet. givin' up on me?
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jul 11, 2014:
Very close. I added it for dramatic effect. The important part is to confess = self-disclose. Whether you beat your chest while doing it, adds a touch of authenticity, but is not essential.
BTW. My remark was directed toward anyone trying their hand at this question, not you, geopiet.

re: od razu bij się w pierś czyż nie jest to kajanie się?
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Jul 11, 2014:
This is a rhyme - a maxim - not a psychological text.
geopiet Jul 11, 2014:
kajać się? może lepiej nie,

za bardzo kojarzy się z byłym systemem i samokrytyką :)

kawa na ławę załatwi sprawę

IMHO
Oczywiście w dalszej części zgodnie z oryginałem wyjaśnić, że chodzi o konflikt/problem z partnerem/partnerką.

Przyznaj się od razu, jeśli coś przeskrobiesz/ Gdy coś przeskrobiesz, od razu bij się w pierś

This is what it means.
self-disclose = przyznaj się
on the double =niezwłocznie = od razu
The trouble is when you "get in trouble" - do something improper.
