Can confession be turned the wrong way?

a. If we react with condemnation
b. If we gossip and don't keep confidence - Golden rule applies with handling confession
c. If we label people to control them - confession can used to help them but not beat them down
d. If we think it is our role to fix them - main role of responsibility is on the one confessing - we are here to help
e. If leaders do not do it - but expect others to confess - One-way confesses will become dysfunctional and unhealthy
