In this episode, Kim Andryc and Lora Solomon discuss:

• What cognitive dissonance is and how it shows up in our lives.
• The extreme contradictions in beliefs and narratives that cause anxiety.
• The unconscious habit of “virtue signaling” and how it can lead to cognitive dissonance

Key Takeaways:

• Behaving in ways that are contradictory to our internal beliefs is a betrayal of our own selves and creates dissonance and anxiety within ourselves.
• It’s okay to leave if you are in a situation that contradicts your values. It is good for your well-being.
• The reason we feel scared is that we believe we will be rejected from the group. In human history and in childhood, being rejected by the group is dangerous

"This is where bodywork and body awareness are so important. Because, believe it or not, the mind is the last to know the truth. If I am disconnected from my body, then I am disconnected from the truth." — Kim Andryc
