TLDR Psychology #2: Anxiety, Avoidance, and Safety Behaviors

TLDR: Psychology - Concepts in applied psychology broken down to small, evidence-based nuggets! Ever wonder why you keep being anxious and avoiding that one thing in your life, even when a big part of you knows it really shouldn't be that big of a deal? If you have 4 minutes, join me to learn about how avoidance hardwires anxiety, and how you can start to break the chain. I explain these concepts at the beginning of therapy to pretty much every patient I see who is suffering from #PTSD, #anxiety, or #OCD. Understanding is the first step in change.
