I have a huge problem with pathological lying. Does anyone know what type of therapy I should get for this? Would hypnosis be better instead?

    The trouble is that I can’t control it. Lies come out easier than the truth. It’s been this way since childhood. I don’t have a mask. I create new identities, and I need to collapse myself into one identity and stick with it, and part of that would be to stop the lying. I don’t want to destroy my relationships again. I’m so confused about where to turn.

      There’s a lot to unpack there, and I don’t want to appear qualified to help you over this medium. In therapy you could get to the bottom of this, but it takes a lot of work and time. Please have a look into Dialectical behavior therapy, as this seems applicable for the picture you painted about your experience.
