Avoidance isn’t failure — it’s information.
It’s your nervous system saying, “this feels too much right now.”
Even naming that in therapy is progress. You don’t have to unpack everything at once; awareness alone can soften its grip.
Therapy isn’t about forcing yourself to dive in — it’s about noticing what’s hard and learning to sit with it safely.
Sometimes, saying “I’m avoiding this” is exactly where the work begins!!
