In this second week of The Anatomy of Change, we’ll look at what happens when we silence our inner knowing and convince ourselves that avoidance will make discomfort go away.

Ignoring pain might feel like relief at first, but over time, the roots grow deeper, spilling into every area of our lives. Relationships strain, our moods suffer, and our sense of self becomes shaped around a lie rather than truth.

In this episode, we'll cover:

🤔 Why ignoring pain is a common survival strategy

😔 How avoidance quietly prolongs suffering

🪧 The signs that pain is showing up in disguised ways across your life

😌 How to start honoring your needs instead of silencing them

Ignoring pain doesn’t erase it, it only makes it louder. By turning toward it, we begin to move out of survival mode and into honest healing.
