Disonancia cognitiva: así te engañas a ti mismo

Cognitive dissonance is often observed in therapy, in cases of anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment difficulties, or other problems. As I often explain to patients: “Your problem is that your head, your heart, and your feet are going in different directions, each moving in a different direction, and that causes you discomfort. What we need to do is get head, heart, and feet—thoughts, emotions, and behavior—to work together.” In therapy, we try to find adaptive ways to reduce this cognitive dissonance that causes so much distress. But not all ways of reducing dissonance are adaptive; sometimes they even leave us stuck and prevent us from moving forward. 👉 Did you like the video? Subscribe to the channel!
