Confession as a sacrament is an outward sign of the grace of God, in that we know that our confession is immediately accepted by God through our confessor and we are given the words of absolution which our human ears can hear. We also know that our sins if perfectly confessed directly to God are also immediately forgiven, but the human interface in the sacrament clearly commanded in John 20:23 gives us physical feedback that is priceless. For that reason the Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation is required of Catholics.

If it feels good, do it.
