This week, Chris and Rowan look at the topic of avoidance and avoidant personality disorders. Avoidance is a problem that arises when one's fears or anxieties get in the way of them either doing, or not doing something, which impacts on their quality of life. Those with avoidant personality tendencies, can experience repeated periods of depression and anxiety, because their avoidance is hampering them from truly processing the root cause of their distress and stopping them from tackling the problem head on. In this episode, you'll learn not only how to identify avoidance in yourself and others, but also some practical tips and strategies for how to overcome avoidant tendencies.
