Cognitive Dissonance How the Traumatized Brain Keeps You STUCK
Today I want to talk about what the traumatized brain does when you're experiencing cognitive dissonance and you tend to experience cognitive dissonance when in toxic relationships. I want to talk about what happens to the brain so you can understand why some things you may want to be doing, or some decisions you may want to be making...why you're struggling so much. When we don't understand it, it can cause a lot of shame and you can stay stuck because nothing that's happening makes sense. That being said let's dive in - for those that don't know me my name is Michele Lee Nieves I'm a life and relationship coach I'm the founder of the Thrivers School of Transformation which is a monthly membership where we meet live weekly on zoom and we work through the side effects of narcissistic abuse and complex ptsd together. So - the doors open Feb 1st to 5th so make sure you watch for when link is available. Let's talk about cognitive dissonance - the name alone cognitive being with your thoughts, thinking and dissonance being disharmony. So what happens when you have cognitive dissonance is that your thoughts have disharmony and you're being pulled in two seperate directions. This is really common when you have a toxic or narcissistic relationship because think about a narcissistic parent - my family loves me... my family is hurting me - those are two opposing thoughts and the brain doesn't like disharmony.
