Why Do I Avoid Therapy? Even When I Have So Much Trauma
from Why Do I Do That? Hosted by Jessica Ella
Episode 13: In this episode, Jess is joined by her partner Gav, sharing his fresh perspective on a topic that touches many—why people avoid therapy, even when dealing with significant trauma. Have you ever wondered why, despite knowing the benefits, some people still steer clear of therapy? Gav, who’s new to the world of deep healing and therapy, provides an insightful look into this phenomenon. From his experience as the go-to friend for advice to his own journey through healing practices like breathwork and hypnosis, Gav reveals the real reasons behind the resistance to therapy. Discover why vulnerability makes therapy seem daunting and how the fear of opening emotional “cans of worms” can be paralysing. We discuss the unsettling feeling of facing unknowns and why the thought of change can be even scarier than the problems we’re trying to solve. We challenge the myth that therapy will make you worse before it gets better and explore how finding the right therapeutic approach can expedite real, meaningful change. Tune in to learn why confronting your trauma sooner rather than later might be the key to freeing yourself from it. If you know someone who could benefit from this discussion, don’t forget to share!
