'Down the Cave of Mind... Hypnosis'

But wouldn't a pathological liar still lie while under hypnosis? Only telling the psychiatrist what he or she wants to hear, because neither doctor nor patient wants to be there, and the matter of money tears them farther apart. The liar craves the drama presented by them spinning their web to the shrink, but then despise them for actually wanting to probe, for they only crave an audience whose feedback only fuels their lies, because they, in no way, represent themselves and their actual mental state. It serves, in no way, therapeutic, but the predator makes fake breakthroughs to not seem as a complete lost cause, but then take a down turn, putting them at square one of a whole new mental board game.
