In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the complexities of belief systems and the emotional turmoil that can arise when our convictions are questioned. Inspired by a teenager's heartfelt request, the hosts address the confusion and fear that often accompany self-doubt and lack of self-trust. They explore how deeply held beliefs, especially those rooted in religion, can be shaken when confronted with opposing viewpoints, leading to cognitive dissonance. Dr.
