Another Parade magazine author, Jenna Clark, sought out Dr. Vernig to provide an analysis of vulnerability versus oversharing. He discussed how oversharing can be related to anxiety and attempts to self-soothe. He also related the importance of matching self disclosure and vulnerability to the depth and dynamics of the relationship: can the relationship handle the information or is it too early? The article provided practical advice to readers who want to understand how vulnerability and psychological safety are important in relationships and how oversharing can be counterproductive.
