Listen "MYM - Cognitive Dissonance"
Episode Synopsis
Cognitive dissonance occurs when we hold two competing ideas, like ‘I like eating meat’ and ‘eating meat is cruel and bad for the planet’, or ‘I believe in fairness and equality’ and ‘Many don’t have enough to eat and we subscribe to three streaming services,’ or ‘My family must be okay!’ and ‘I can’t control everything that happens to them.’ How does cognitive dissonance affect our mental health? How do we deal with it?
