Therapy for avoidance

Avoidance is a common response to stress, trauma, or overwhelming emotions, often used as a way to avoid pain or discomfort. While avoidance may seem to work in the short term, it usually leads to more stress, guilt, and feelings of being stuck. Avoidance can make it hard to confront challenges, engage in relationships, or pursue personal growth, leaving people feeling isolated or as though they’re running from their own lives. This pattern can affect everything from work to friendships, making it difficult to feel fully engaged or fulfilled.
