What is Avoidance Coping Mechanism
Avoidance is a coping mechanism that involves deferring or detouring from certain things, feelings, or ideas to avoid discomfort or difficult emotions. It can manifest in various ways, such as changing the subject in a conversation, avoiding certain situations or people, or engaging in activities to escape from unpleasant feelings. Avoidance can also be seen in behaviors like substance abuse, excessive TV watching, or overeating. It serves as a way to cope with stress or discomfort, but it can also hinder personal growth and healing if not addressed. Over time, with awareness and intentional practice, individuals can learn to recognize and change their avoidance patterns to develop healthier coping mechanisms.
