Post Confessional Truth Disorder

While I fully understand the idea behind ‘confession,’ and how a Priest is an intercessor and such, I wonder if any other ‘Reformed Catholics,’ like myself, suffer at the idea of surrendering our deepest, innermost secrets to another human being. It is truly easy to go directly to God, the Son and the Holy Ghost when we have sinned, but telling aloud one’s shameful errors to another flawed being is frightening.
It leaves me wondering, does anyone else suffers from what I call “Post Confessional Truth Disorder” and the battle to keep nothing a secret?
