Examining the Roots – Understanding Why You Lie

By Linda C J Turner, Therapist & Advocate

🌱 Step 2: Examine the Roots of the Lies

Pathological lying often masks deep shamefear, or past trauma. Lies become coping mechanisms—ways to avoid vulnerability or rejection.

💬 Reflect: What feelings or fears are driving your lies? What past experiences have shaped this behavior?

Healing comes when you understand why you lie, not just what you’re lying about.
Start by uncovering the deeper wounds.

👉 Action: Spend some time journaling about your past and the emotional triggers that lead to your need to lie. #SelfHealing #HealingFromWithin #LiesToTruth
