A Five-Week Emotional Processing Series

You may already know what would help you feel better—but knowing and doing are not always the same thing.

When uncomfortable emotions begin to surface, many of us stay busy, reach for our phones, take care of everyone else, seek reassurance, overthink, clean, work, or find another way to distract ourselves.

This does not mean you are lazy, resistant, or unwilling to heal.

Avoidance is often a protective response. It can bring temporary relief while also keeping important feelings, needs, beliefs, and experiences from being fully understood and integrated.
