However, your lack of comprehension of how your paying a lot of money for this education sets you up for cognitive dissonance demonstrates clearly that you don't understand the first thing about psychology (well, your biases might be blinding you, which would make you ignorant, but it's such a textbook case, I doubt that).
How about the cognitive dissonance of the conflicting societal beliefs and the method that I'm preaching?

1) When I feel the radio is sending me messages, do you believe that non-pharmacological treatments can eliminate this symptom?
2) What is the mechanism involved and how do your treatments impact this mechanism -- specifics, please.
2) what scientific studies demonstrate this to be true?
I've never come across this disorder before, I can only sympathise with you feeling sorry for yourself. Anything that can help you alleviate what you're experiencing is worth putting effort into.
