In the first half of this reflection (after the introduction), I offer a mini-lesson on cognitive dissonance as both a concept and a process. However, in the second half, I talk about the different types of dissonance I personally experience and the intellectual AND emotional reactions I have to them. The greatest value of this reflection (for me) is how I connect cognitive functions which then explains the dissonance for which I am drawn and the dissonance for which I am repulsed.
