Avoiding painful memories doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re human!

Avoiding painful memories doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re human! When trauma runs deep, such as surviving childhood sexual abuse, neglect, or chronic danger, the pain can feel unbearable even years later. For many people, the idea of talking about what happened feels like it could crush them. And that makes sense. Avoidance isn’t a weakness. It’s human. It’s your nervous system doing exactly what it learned to do to survive. In this episode, we explore why facing painful memories can feel so overwhelming and how compassion, not force, becomes the doorway to healing. You don’t have to rush what once helped keep you safe! ✨ 📅 This episode will be out Thursday at 11AM 👉 Check out our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AdaptableBehaviorExplained #HealingJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #adaptablebehaviorexplained #kellyohoro
