compulsive lying

Dealing with a compulsive liar can get stressful. But when there are addressing underlying issues with therapy, results are noticed over time. A polygraph test[4] is used by some therapists not to catch the patient in a lie but to find out if they are capable of beating the polygraph[5]. Confronting the truth can be difficult for them, and lying is their way out. They make up lies as they go along, choosing to tell people what they think they want to hear. They will review the following issues: Analyze the pattern of lies to understand the reason behind the issue better Check the trigger points Advise the patient to take it one day at a time to allow them to de-stress Let patient exercise restrain by setting goals and sticking to them Make the patient understand that they don’t need to share everything, even if it’s the truth Explore the aim of the lie to verify trigger points Online treatments are ideal for treating compulsive and pathological liars. 4] W.
