Breaking the Chains: Cognitive Dissonance and Narcissistic Abuse

Love can be painful because of how patient the person has to be with the other person, for example, but it's not painful in this way. That is absolutely unnecessary, because they simply disagreed, or just something like that, anything that has nothing to do with love.
Have you ever felt like you're living in a mental tug-of-war, torn between conflicting thoughts and emotions? That's cognitive dissonance, and it’s a common experience for those recovering from narcissistic abuse. In this episode of 'Self Evolution Regardless', Maram Ben Rhouma unpacks this psychological phenomenon and its deep connection to narcissistic manipulation. Imagine being showered with affection one moment, only to be devalued the next.
This cycle of love bombing and devaluation is a classic tactic used by narcissists to keep their victims off-balance and under control. Maram dives into how these manipulative behaviors distort a victim's perception of love and self-worth, making them question their reality and even their own value. She explains how the narcissist’s fragile ego demands constant admiration and how they exploit their victim's emotions to maintain control. But there's hope.
Maram emphasizes the importance of self-investment and self-love as crucial steps to breaking free from this toxic cycle. She offers practical advice on recognizing these manipulative tactics and reclaiming your mental and emotional well-being. Whether you're in the throes of narcissistic abuse or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with insights that can help you understand and overcome cognitive dissonance. Tune in to 'Self Evolution Regardless' and start your journey towards mental clarity and emotional freedom.
