To stop compulsive lying, you need to deal with the fact that lying has become a habit in your life.  People develop habits for many reasons.  In the case of a compulsive liar it is often because they have developed a habit of avoiding confrontation.  It is easier to lie than to deal with the consequences of telling an unpleasant truth.  But compulsive lying is not limited to just telling lies for a reason you see as important.  It is lying that is often done without thought or reason.

Avoiding Confrontation

When you start to lie to avoid confrontation, it is very easy for the lying to turn into a habit.  Like a child who learns lying can keep him or her out of trouble, adult liars prevaricate in order to maintain peace in their lives.  Instead of telling the truth and dealing with any unpleasant expressions of emotions, lying becomes a defense shield that deflects confrontation.  But it is crucial to stop compulsive lying, because lying hurts you, your family and friends and anyone else who is on the receiving end of the lies.

Becoming Someone Else

Compulsive lying can actually result from developing avoidance tactics for many reasons.  For example, you many not want to deal with your feelings of inadequacy so you make up grandiose lies that make you seem larger than your real life.  You might want to avoid developing a sincere relationship with people which requires honesty and trust.  So you lie, because lying always puts emotional distance between you and the other person.  When you want to stop compulsive lying, you have deal with these thoughts that lead to the tactic of lying to avoid real personal interaction.

Interrupting the Destructive Lying Patterns

The bottom line is that no matter what reason you have for continually lying, compulsive lying is a destructive habit.  It prevents you from living an honest life and interacting with people in an honest manner.  In order to stop compulsive lying problems from impacting your life, you need to change the thought patterns leading to the behavior.

When you have pigeon holed your life with a particular pattern or habit such as compulsive lying, it can limit your ability to achieve your best.  Through self hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), you can learn how to identify the life restricting thoughts which are preventing you from leading an honest life.  At some point your chronic lying will be discovered, so it is better to stop compulsive lying now before any more damage is done.

Doing It Differently

With self hypnosis you can stop compulsive lying.  Self hypnosis enables you to approach a situation with the mental tools you need to handle it differently then you have in the past.  Your subconscious mind is cleared of destructive thinking patterns that lead to equally destructive lying.  You develop the self control you need to stop compulsive lying.
