How Trauma Trained Us To Lie

If you are a trauma survivor who has struggled with telling the truth, you might be surprised to learn that this can be a  common struggle for trauma survivors. 

For many of us who experienced trauma, lying became a part of our daily lives. We used lying as a way to stay safe, protect others, and avoid shame. Just because we have gotten older doesn't mean those survival mechanisms automatically go away. As long as we see telling the truth as dangerous, we will continue to fall back into patterns of lying. 

In this episode, we explore the following:

• How did trauma train us to lie?. 
• How do we let go of the shame of "survival lying?"
• How do we develop a healthy relationship with telling the truth?
  • Telling the truth to ourselves.
  • Identifying what triggers us to lie.
  • Building a safe relationship with telling the truth.
  • Holding ourselves accountable when we lie.

We can heal our relationship with telling the truth and live a life that is alignmed with who we truly are.
