Definition of opening up

opening upnoun

mở ra

/ˌəʊpənɪŋ ˈʌp//ˌəʊpənɪŋ ˈʌp/

The expression "opening up" originally referred to the physical act of making something, such as a door or a package, more accessible by expanding or breaking it open. However, over time, the term has evolved to take on a more metaphorical meaning in everyday conversation. In psychology, "opening up" is used to describe a therapeutic process in which an individual becomes more introspective and vulnerable by sharing their innermost thoughts, feelings, and experiences with a trusted person, such as a therapist or a close friend. This concept evolved from the early psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, who believed that individuals must confront and work through their unconscious fears and desires in order to achieve personal growth and emotional healing. In modern usage, "opening up" is also commonly used in various contexts, including social interactions, romantic relationships, and workplace communication, to describe the act of being more candid, honest, and receptive to new ideas or experiences. Overall, the expression has come to symbolize a state of emotional openness, vulnerability, and authenticity that allows for deeper connections and mutual understanding between individuals.
