Are You Avoiding Action Because “It Could Be Worse?”

Dr. Emily Taylor coaches a renter in a chaotic housing conflict. It’s easy for conflict-avoiders to get stuck in an unsatisfying situation because they’re convinced “it could be worse.” In this coaching session, Dr. Emily helps John to see his chaotic housing environment more clearly and consider whether he’s really committed to changing things. Together they uncover a surprising truth about John’s willingness to stay in his current situation. In this episode, you will learn how to: - Challenge the tendency to compare current issues to worst-case scenarios. - Watch for token gestures that don’t address the root conflict. - Recognize avoidance as a sign of internal resistance that may signal a different desired outcome. Let us know how these strategies work in your own life!
