In this episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan Kassas, joined by special guest Dr. Tony Kassas, uncover the psychological and neurological processes behind rationalization, self-justification, and moral disengagement. Explore how the brain attempts to reduce cognitive dissonance by creating excuses that protect our self-image rather than confronting our behavior. Discover how repeated justification can weaken our sensitivity to conviction and why genuine transformation requires more than changing how we explain our actions—it requires renewing how we think.
