SHOWNOTES: Your Brain Is Lying To You - In Bed With Phil ep 71
Your brain is lying to you—and it’s wrecking your relationships, wellbeing, and mental health without you realising. In this In Bed with Phil episode, Toni and Phil unpack the sneaky science of self-justification, cognitive dissonance, false memories, blame, and why good people do hurtful things while believing they’re innocent. A funny, confronting, deeply practical chat that helps you see your blind spots, improve connection, and radically shift how you understand conflict.
Topics
Cognitive dissonance
Self-justification
Memory blind spots
Conflict and blame
Wellbeing + mental health
Relationships under stress
Parenting patterns
Why our brains hide our role in drama
