The Importance of Avoidance
Psychological avoidance is any response to a perceived threat that brings immediate emotional relief, but comes with long term negative consequences. We avoid because we are biologically wired to walk away from anything that feels like a threat. Once the brain senses threat for everyone, including you and anybody listening to us, it goes on fight, flight, or freeze. And when it's perceived threat, we'll do whatever the hell it takes to not feel that discomfort.
