Show Notes

Join Tara and Karen as we explore the multifaceted concept of cognitive dissonance and its profound impact on personal and professional relationships. This episode dissects the theory introduced by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, revealing how conflicting beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors create mental discomfort. We delve into real-life examples, discuss how cognitive dissonance affects communication patterns and decision-making processes, and offer practical, actionable strategies for managing these internal conflicts. Discover the importance of self-awareness, empathy, and open communication in alleviating cognitive dissonance, and learn how to foster more authentic and satisfying relationships. Whether you're dealing with a partner, colleague, or friend, these practical strategies provide valuable insights to improve your mental and emotional well-being.
