This is the best explanation I have heard

[terrapintravels]

I always refer to my ex husband as the best and worst husband. He was so romantic, thoughtful, gave me beautiful gifts, had a wonderful work ethic, opened my doors, loving cards, lunch dates, built me wonderful garden spots. My husband was the worst, insulting me about my body image and made insulting jokes about me, raged at me, gave me the silent treatment out of no where, would not answer texts or calls when I really needed his help, drastic mood swings.
Your videos and Patrick Teahan's videos help me so much, thank you🌷

Thank you Doc! I appreciate you! 18 years of feeling bad for my mans trauma but hating his narc ways. Tried leaving twice. I need this help. Thank you again. ❤

I just watched a very small portion of another video about this and the person who created it was actually gaslighting and pushing their own agenda and it was so strange, it made me feel disgusting in my body and I could not listen to it. I am so glad that I can distinguish from it now.

[helgahayencarvajal]

Yes I can relate to this! And I feel terribly confused all the time and have really uncomfortable feelings in my body

[saraumar]

I used to think like this and still do sometimes but not as much now.

[Steven-sz]

Yes, I've been in a four year relationship with a covert and when I'm not around my partner or there's a fight I'm able to see what's bad in the relationship for minutes and then my mind will switch back on whats good, it's very conflicting and has made it hard to be honest with myself.

Tone!!!
I hate that word so much. Always using "my tone" as an excuse 🙄

[erikavaleries]

This is a great example. They really create a Jekyll/Hyde duality. You never know which one you will get, and it’s terribly confusing & scary. I grew up with a parent who could switch on a dime to furious, then acted like nothing happened. That explains why I tolerated it to a lesser degree in my ex husband. They enjoy causing cognitive dissonance.

I feel brain damaged but not sure if I'm totally there yet.
I know I'm not the horrible person I'm made out to be.
I'm can't stop using that tone as what he is saying/doing is off the wall wrong.
I can't be gaslite into believing all the craziness. ACK!
There are days I feel I have one foot over the abyss and the other one on a banana peel...

[leahsummer]

I didn't know what cognitive dissonance was...this was exactly my situation and towards the end here in the past month, he stayed out all night several nights. I thought it was my fault because of the fights that would occur before he took off. What kind of brain damage does it cause? I've got to research this further. Thank you for making me see that I'm not crazy.

[lindas]

And being a friend to a person doing this is nearly impossible due to the frustration

[deedeeedens]

Geez, 20 yrs of living with two versions of my husband. I miss the man I know he can be and have accepted the person he has become. The new person definitely doesn't value our marriage or me. I am a just an obligation nowadays

[nocturne]

This is what happened to me last year after I was raped by another man. Thank you for this example.

[SusieRobinson-vm]

Yeah no one warns you about the aftermath of cognitive dissonance in recovery
