# 101 Avoidance and Anxiety

The Anxiety Dr
About this episode

Avoidance... we all do it! While it is not good to start avoiding things that we think might trigger anxiety, most of us with anxiety will start doing it. What I would want more than anything is for you to be able to do the things you want to do. Having a plan and executing is important. For now if you're avoiding and you have a plan, it's ok as long as you have a plan. Build that foundation to be able to do these things that are extremely hard for us to do. Take a listen and start your plan to heal today!!!
