How to Deal with Someone Who Believes a Liar*

Nance Schick · Dec 5, 2022 ·

It can be challenging and frustrating when someone you love believes a person who lies, but this doesn’t have to end the relationship.

This conflict can be resolved, and your relationship with this person can be transformed, with a little:

  • self-analysis
  • willingness to listen
  • focus on what matters most to you in the relationship

In this three-video mini-course, we address:

  1. The Seven Choices that help you reconnect with your more powerful self
  2. The Five Actions that help you reconnect with your loved one, your common interests, and the bond you want to feel
  3. Why your thoughts about a third person doesn’t have much impact on the relationship with your loved one–unless you let them

Make the Seven Choices

  1. Forgive yourself
  2. Acknowledge yourself
  3. Forgive the world (and your loved one)
  4. Free the emotions
  5. Clear your mind
  6. Assume nothing
  7. Listen with your third ear (your heart)

Take the Five Actions

  1. Define the conflict succinctly
  2. Identify the interests of all affected parties in the conflict
  3. Play with the possibilities for resolution
  4. Create the future with a specific, measurable action plan
  5. Stay on PARR: plan, act, revise, and repeat until you get the result you want–or something better!

Work Through the Five Actions Again

Consider the conflict between you and the person you think is a liar. These kinds of conflict might be more about how we think the world should work than whether the third person is a liar. More importantly, this attachment probably isn’t going to help us have the relationships we want with the people we love. Focus your energy where it matters most.
