In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of numbing, avoiding, and distracting—how to recognize when you're doing it, whether it's healthy or unhealthy, and what steps you can take to move forward. Inspired by a recent Coffee Chat session inside the PBT® (Post Betrayal Transformation®) Community, we explore the different ways people cope with painful emotions and why certain methods, even seemingly positive ones, might be keeping you stuck.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The three categories of numbing, avoiding, and distracting:
-
Unhealthy ways (e.g., drinking, smoking, emotional eating, reckless behaviors)
-
Neutral ways (e.g., binge-watching TV, scrolling social media, procrastination)
