is there help for compulsive lying?

Answer 1

here's something my grandfather told me to do when i was little about lying.
Each time I lie I have to pinch myself or have a friend pinch me.

Answer 2

Yes. No wait,that would be me..compulsive lying again. No,I am kidding. I haven't heard of "professional help" for compulsive liars,but usually compulsive lying is a symptom of something much greater,like depression..or anxiety disorders.

Answer 3

Compulsive lying often needs to be treated in multiple ways: as an addictive behavior as well as addressing any underlying personality disorder that may be involved. Contact a local therapist - describe your problem, if he or she can't help you, typically, you'll get a referral to someone who specializes in treating such problems.

Answer 4

You have already taken the first step by telling the truth about your problem. Next step is to tell it to someone you have hurt face to face. The third step is probably to find a therapist to help with all the others.
