When we aren't entirely living in integrity with our values and mission, then we are living in incoherence. When we are more invested in fantasies than reality, or when our idea of who we are is not aligned with what we are doing, this will create a state of dissonance. And when we are living in states of dissonance, that puts us at risk of being easily manipulated.
Meredith, you helped me realize I was in an abusive relationship in Sept 2020. Then in Nov 2020, I recognized I grew up in a covert narcissistic family unit. Then in April 2021, I had my “frying pan moment” about the nature of the “matrix” I had been subscribed to my entire life and how my level of education actually made me MORE susceptible to falling for this narrative. That’s 3 frying pans in ~6 months! The amount of healing and personal growth has been commensurate with the trauma of realizing the ugly truth.
I’m a medical doctor and would be very interested in collaborating with you on a podcast, etc. That highlights the abusive structure of medical training. How the healthcare system selects for professionals with significant unresolved personal trauma (myself included). I can see with absolute clarity how trauma based mind control has impacted doctors, and set the framework for them to enable the abusive system to be perpetuated.
Informative! Trauma reenactment served a purpose n creating new experiences to substitute the old self is a daunting task. Hoping u write some more on this topic 👍👍
In early 2020, I got sucked back into cognitive dissonance, triggered by the demolition of my world, a perceived medical threat, information that was contradictory and constantly changing and forced isolation. I snapped out of it after a few months, but it made me realize that I am not as immune to cognitive dissonance as I expected, having previously worked hard at resolving my past traumas. I feel a lot of us got initially sucked in, to awaken afterwards to the societal abuse. Was this trap avoidable from the start? For those of us that didn't see the abuse at the beginning, how can we catch on faster the next time?
