Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance with Dr Peter Salerno

Why does narcissistic abuse leave you feeling confused, stuck, and disconnected from your own reality?

In this in-depth conversation, Dr Peter Salerno, retired licensed psychotherapist and clinical psychologist, explains traumatic cognitive dissonance, a psychological state that develops through intentional manipulation, coercive control, and pathological abuse.

This episode explores how narcissistic relationships distort belief systems, create internal conflict, and keep survivors trapped in cycles of self doubt, rumination, and emotional paralysis.
