In this compassionate guide, you'll find skills based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you tackle anxiety and
harmful avoidance behaviors; manage negative emotions; cope with flashbacks and nightmares; and develop trusting, healthy relationships — even if your trust in others has been shaken to the core.
Avoidance itself is not a problem; rather, the
behavior can become problematic when escaping becomes
harmful or contrary to personal goals and sets a rigid pattern of experiencing and responding to the world.
