TMWT Episode 007 – The Oh So Many Ways You're Lying to Yourself

Welcome to Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi: Personal Growth, Mental Health, and Interesting Ideas. We're a podcast where we explore ways we can heal from the past, grow in positivity in the future, and find some food for thought along the journey.

In this week's episode, we talk about how you lie to yourself, why you lie to yourself, and how to just stop it already! We talk about the oh so many ways you're lying to yourself, the many hidden reasons to lie, and a practical way to address the lies.
