Description

Denial is everywhere, keeping us from seeing reality and causing unhappiness and frustration. It can make things disappear in the blink of an eye. It can also convince you that you are seeing what you want to see even when it isn’t there, leading you to believe in nonsense along the way. People employ Denial because it makes their life easier in the moment. It even makes it appear to be better, the way you would like it to be, the way you wish it was, rather than what it actually is. Denial reassures you, tells you not to worry, it’s not that bad, it could be worse. But the truth is, it is a short-sighted solution, a quick fix, a temporary Band-Aid.

Am I Lying To Myself? helps readers squelch the tendency to let their own and others’ Denial rule their lives. This book takes readers through a series of real-world scenarios in which people find themselves mired in Denial. It will help you not only recognize Denial’s sneaky voice, but you will come away from each chapter with a useful skill that will help you address the Denial in your own life. After reading this book, it will become second nature to talk back to Denial with clarity and strength. This book will teach you how to do that. You will never lie to yourself again.

Library Journal Reviews

Greer (What About Me?) has written a book for anyone who has experienced denial within themselves or from other people. Describing denial as the "Houdini of the heart," the author addresses patterns of denial from small annoyances to the larger issues of infidelity and addiction. The book is written in two parts. The first focuses on how to recognize the different elements of denial—wishing and hoping, missing the signs, believing what you are told, turning a little into a lot. Part two examines how to cope with denial in other people. Greer bases her advice and suggestions on her years as a marriage and family therapist and relates the experience of her patients as examples of the multiple forms of denial. Written in a clear and understandable style without resorting to medical jargon, the experiences she shares are relatable and the advice she provides will help readers focus on patterns of denial and its impact on their lives. VERDICT Highly recommended. Best for anyone interested in personal growth, self-help, and relationship issues.—Jacqueline Parascandola
