Cognitive Dissonance Is Your Brain’s Alarm System – Stop Ignoring It!

In this eye-opening episode, Ross Rosenberg dives deep into cognitive dissonance—the mental tension we feel when our actions conflict with our beliefs—and reveals how it manifests in codependent-narcissist relationships. Drawing from a Patreon subscriber's question, Ross explains why that "gut feeling" of unease is actually your inner alarm system, warning you when something's wrong in toxic dynamics. Learn why chemistry with narcissists feels "right" (even when it's harmful), how recovering codependents can use cognitive dissonance to spot red flags, and why healthy relationships might feel uncomfortable at first. Whether you're struggling with self-love deficit disorder or navigating the Human Magnet Syndrome, this video offers practical insights to break free from destructive patterns.
