Have you ever lied to someone you loved or yourself...?
Well, if you are being honest you probably answered yes! From our earliest days in life, as humans, we may try to deny reality to help us feel better or even survive. This is a powerful technique that our minds reflexively use to protect us however at times he can go awry and leave us stuck and painful repetitive patterns. Frequently these patterns are diagnosed as depression, anxiety, or social phobia, and can manifest as relationship problems, difficulty sleeping, or overeating, drinking, sleeping.
There can be such powerful feelings that leave us moving away from greater understanding of why these things occur aka we do them. Frequently, my work with patients is in these areas and can help provide relief.
Here is an article, from current news, that provides a great illustration of how anyone can find themselves in a situation they would never wish for.

People who feel younger at heart live longer
Who wouldn't want a longer life and feeling younger? New research provides more support for the powerful impact our mind has on our physical health in physiological functioning.
Sometimes the connection between our mind and body is not crystal clear and so when we are under stress we avoid looking in these areas because when under stress we want clear black-and-white answers. This can be adaptive. for example if we needed to grab something defend office threaten our life we would be best served to grab the tool we can see clearly rather than one that's in the shadows and may not be what we think it is.
A willingness to explore the shades of gray in our lives can give us a chance to see where we may have more control or more ability to find change.
Go ahead lie about your age. It may be the very thing that helps you live a longer life. A new study shows that people who truly believe they are younger than their actual years have a lower death rate. New research published in JAMA internal medicine online looked at data from 6489 people with an average age of 65.8 years who reported they felt a little less than 10 years younger. What's interesting is that most people in the study didn't feel like their actual age. Most said that they felt about three years younger...
