Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health to help create more self-awareness and understanding. With her expert guests - trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - she shares insight and valuable tips.
In this episode, Kimberley explores lying with psychotherapist Dr Charlotte Cooper. Do you lie? We don’t like to think we do but research suggests we lie 1-2 times a day. And that we learn to lie at a very young age; it’s a natural stage in our cognitive development. So if we can all lie, then why is lying bad? The answer? Because it causes us harm.
