Why Do We Lie?

                Most of us know we shouldn’t lie, but how honest are we about our honesty?  We may lie overtly or covertly.  We may lie to survive, to get our needs met, to protect ourselves from pain (though we know it ultimately tends to bring us more pain), to smooth out social interactions, to spare the feelings of others, and for so many other reasons.  Some people certainly lie more than others, some with remorse and others without.   So when does lying signal serious cause for concern, like personality disorders or other characterological issues?  How do we deal with it in ourselves or in others?  Today Cinthia looks at the research on who lies about what and why, and she guides us through a process of examining ourselves.  What would it take for you to experience safety and truth at the same time?  Join Cinthia to look at where to start when it comes to truth and lies.
