When Reality Breaks
Understanding Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance and Healing After Psychological Abuse

Have you ever left a relationship knowing something was deeply wrong, yet still found yourself questioning your own memory, judgment, or reactions?

Do you replay conversations in your head, wondering how everything somehow became your fault, even when you were the one who was hurt?

If so, this book was written for you.

Psychological abuse does not always look like cruelty. Often, it is subtle, confusing, and destabilizing. It unfolds through contradiction rather than confrontation. Over time, it can erode your trust in your own perception, leaving you stuck between knowing something was wrong and feeling unable to fully believe yourself.

This internal conflict has a name.

Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance is the result of prolonged exposure to manipulation, emotional invalidation, and distorted responsibility within a close relationship. It goes beyond stress or heartbreak. It affects how you think, how you feel, and how you understand yourself.

When Reality Breaks offers a clear and compassionate framework for understanding what happened to you, without pathologizing you or obsessing over diagnoses. Instead of focusing on labels, it explores the relational dynamics that quietly dismantle self trust and explains why recovery often feels confusing even after the relationship ends.

Inside this book, you will learn:

• Why clarity does not return immediately after leaving

• How your mind adapted to survive prolonged contradiction

• Why self doubt, guilt, and emotional exhaustion make sense

• How the nervous system holds psychological abuse

• What it takes to restore trust in your own perception

• How to rebuild identity, boundaries, and connection without fear

Written in a grounded, human voice, this book does not rush healing or offer simplistic solutions. It meets you where you are, whether you are still questioning your experience or beginning to find your footing again.

You are not broken.
You were not imagining things.
And you are not alone in this experience.

Healing does not mean forgetting what happened. It means restoring internal coherence so you can move forward without the constant pull of doubt, confusion, or self blame.

When Reality Breaks is not about fixing yourself.
It is about understanding what disrupted you, and reclaiming the clarity that was slowly taken from you.

If your reality once stopped making sense, this book will help you understand why, and show you how to find your way back to yourself.
