soul-baring
Exposing inner truth
Soul-baring means revealing one's innermost thoughts, feelings, or experiences—exposing what is usually kept private.
The term suggests vulnerability and emotional honesty: a soul-baring interview, soul-baring confessions.
It often describes conversations, writing, or performances where someone shares deeply personal truths.
