296. Navigating Psychological Avoidance: A Conversation With Dr. Luana Marques
Many of us feel stuck when we experience the discomfort of anxiety. But ironically, it\u2019s not the anxiety itself that keeps us stuck, it\u2019s what we do when we\u2019re anxious that keeps us in the cycle of anxiety and inaction \u2014 aka psychological avoidance. This week on the podcast we\u2019re digging deep into the brain with Dr. Luana Marques, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and author of Bold Move. We\u2019ll discuss the three skills you can use to move through psychological avoidance, why aligning with our values can be difficult for women because of the way we were socialized, and how to know if you\u2019re thinking clearly or if your brain has been hijacked by your amygdala.
