When Love and Harm Collide

In this episode of Sacred Resilience, Kristi Lynn explores the complex and often hidden experience of cognitive dissonance in abusive relationships. She explains how survivors are forced to reconcile conflicting realities—what they’re told versus what they experience—and how this inner conflict becomes a survival mechanism, not a weakness. With compassion and clarity, Kristi helps listeners name the confusion, understand its roots, and begin to reclaim their truth.
