288. The impact of avoidance

  • Summary

  • In this solocast, Danni explores the concept of experiential avoidance, particularly in relation to alcohol use as a coping mechanism. She discusses how avoidance of uncomfortable feelings can lead to a cycle of dependency on alcohol, emphasising the importance of awareness, acceptance, and developing healthier coping strategies. Danni highlights the significance of emotional flexibility and self-compassion in overcoming avoidance behaviours, ultimately encouraging listeners to embrace their feelings and live a more authentic life. Danni takes the listeners through a simple breathing exercise to help with emotional resilience and to down regulate the nervous system. She also shares some journal prompts to help awareness around avoidance.
