Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe’re kicking off Season 7 by talking about the thing clients circle for weeks — the topic that never quite gets said. In this episode, we break down how avoidance shows up in therapy, why it’s often protection (not resistance), and what it’s guarding underneath. From over-explaining and joking to staying “productive” in session, we unpack the clinical and human reasons people steer away from certain truths.We also explore what happens when the avoided conversation finally enters the room — how clarity increases, the therapeutic alliance deepens, and real movement begins. If you’ve ever felt stuck in therapy (or noticed yourself dodging a topic), this episode is a reminder: avoidance is information.✨ Subscribe to VIP for exclusive bonus content, deeper clinical conversations, and behind-the-scenes insight all season long.Because the conversation you’re avoiding might be the one that finally lets you exhale.Support the showDisclaimer: This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health care.Want more?
