Cognitive dissonance is the internal battle that happens when information we receive clashes with the core beliefs we have developed throughout our life, mainly during development. 

Cognitive Dissonance is a huge part of borderline personality disorder and other complex traumas. Understanding this we can start to make SMALL changes to start to reframe our core beliefs SLOWLY and work to build a self that we align with. 
It is here that we can feel empowered in who we are understanding that there really isn’t anything wrong with us. We are all living our own lives doing our own things and we are enough just as we are. Struggling does not make anyone less than or any less successful. Recovery is learning to see the beauty in ourselves and finding compassionate wonder to explore ourselves fully. We do recover! We are not bad, broken, or crazy!
