When I think of 'the power of truth' I remember a group I conducted on the topic of honesty. A client shared the story of when he was in court and the judge asked the client to tell him the truth about whether or not he had been using substances. Of course the judge already had all the paperwork and information confirming his use. The client continually denied it. He shared in group that his mother was right next to him saying "The truth will set you free...the truth will set you free!" Finally, he admitted to using. That day he avoided a sentence of up to 5 years in prison. The judge told him that he made a wise decision telling him the truth, because he had been ready to sentence him otherwise. The truth will always set you free. Kids will often tell little white lies here and there, without much consequence. Somehow, as we get older (for some of us at least), lies are no longer fun to sit in. Lies will only make you sick. Honesty is a virtue. One to be admired
