  • One of the patterns I see quite often is the amount of avoidance that comes up in our mental health struggles. At first, avoidance shows up as a protective coping mechanism, but over time, we need to see where avoidance is getting in the way of our healing and freedom. In today's broadcast, I want to uncover 12 ways that we practice avoidance and how fear fuels those patterns. It is my heart that you will graciously notice patterns of avoidance and develop new ways of facing your fears.

    Thank you Mark DeJesus. I am about to be 21 year old. Through your wisdom and compassion I am forever connected to my Father’s love. He is taking me on a journey of his grace and glory. Because of you I understand what real love is. Some many people have learned this lesson so late in life and I am forever grateful that I’m able to learn it now. I will keep learning through you and through Him. I pray you continue to bless others and others find you. His love is over everything. Thank you

    Hi Mark. This was so good
    Thank you. Thank you. ♥️
    I guess the point that really touches where I am at is Overthinking. I consider myself somewhat analytical. But this can stop me from making decisions. Taking a step actually is a victory. 🙂

    This is literally me, I just realized that I fear marriage, I'm 37 years old and i never been in a relationship before because the thought of it and getting married really scared me but at the same time i knew i can't keep this up because I'm not getting any younger and in my mind i want to have a family and it's really scared me to the point i wanna have suicide. The thoughts of getting married really scares me until i have ED last december because of a girl i've been meeting up with for 5 months asked me about marriage, it's really hard for me to take a step forward. Sometimes when I'm alone or not doing anything my mind keep thinking about this and makes me really scared and have panic attack like my heart beat faster and short of breath until i cried sometimes and my mind always saying things like i'm not ready, i'm not good enough, nobody want me, you're getting old, there's no time left for you to get a wife . If you ask the number 1 reason why I'm afraid of marriage i don't have the answer right now but the number 2 reason is like i don't feel confident to provide with my family with what i have right now in term of money, skills and the job i have right now. Really need advice or solution to this fear of mine

    I would love to hear your take on detachment practices in Christianity and whether it is something that benefits us or if it’s a type of fear based avoidance. You and your family are a blessing! Thank you 🙏🏽

    #8 is the biggest one for me possibly. I feel like I can't handle much stress these days and get exhausted easily after leaving the house for only a few hours most times. When family visits I'm so stressed just by having other people around the house and interacting with them that I can't sleep or eat normally for the duration of their stay. This might sound not too bad but I'm almost 30 years old and feel like I'm running out of time to fix myself. Hoping my new counselor gets back to me soon.

    Not proud of it, but my intention of avoidance in jobs, relationships, ex girlfriends etc. Was to not hurt people's feelings but actually did that exactly by avoiding, ghosting, cowardly behavior i know, immature yep! Im working on it. Ive somehow trained myself to avoid feelings, bad feelings, conflict, painful feelings. I hate myself for being this way.🤷‍♂️

    This is me to a T. I need a lot of work on my life. I check a lot of these boxes especially escapism. I need to learn how to live in reality and grow as a person. I am emotionally immature.

    God also suggests that when in doubt to adopt a stance of stillness. Can this idleness be avoidance?
