Episode 3: Cognitive Dissonance and Euphoric Recall

In this episode we discuss cognitive dissonance (the mental discomfort of holding conflicting beliefs) and euphoric recall as it relates to emotionally abusive relationships.

We move through the four different ways our brains try to help us cope and remove the dissonance so it can lessen the discomfort.

We also share a tool for how to begin acknowledging shame so that it can later be processed.
