What's the biggest lie you've told in the last year?

Chances are, you'd have no idea where to start since most of us are expert liars - to ourselves that is. We love lying to ourselves about anything and everything, but what if you could become psychologically stronger and see through the lies your brain is telling you?

Good news - you can.

Dr. Cortney Warren, PhD, is a board-certified psychologist and author of the newly released "Letting Go of Your Ex." She specializes in love addition and breakups, and received her clinical training at Harvard Medical School. Cortney is an expert in eating pathology, addictions, self-deception, and cultural diversity in Psychology.

Although Cortney received tenure at UNLV in 2012, she formally retired from academia in 2014 to pursue a career that would allow her to bring solid psychological information to the public and spend more time with her family. In addition to continuing her research and clinical work, Cortney wanted to help people help themselves on a broader, more accessible way.

In 2014, Cortney wrote the book, Lies We Tell Ourselves: The Psychology of Self-Deception, and gave the TEDx talk Honest Liars on self-deception. She currently writes a blog for Psychology Today and continues to teach as an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, School of Medicine.
