And How Does That Make You Feel?
Welcome to And How Does That Make You Feel? — an AWKN podcast that ungatekeeps what really happens in therapy. No fluff. No psycho-jargon. Just straight-talking insights from inside the therapist’s chair.
Each short episode gives you real tools, real stories, and practical takeaways for the stuff you're actually dealing with — anxiety, ADHD, relationships, burnout, trauma, identity, and everything in between.
This isn’t therapy. But it might just be the next best thing.
Hosted by the team at AWKN, a premium online therapy platform.

EP 195 — Why You Avoid Conflict at Work (And How It Backfires)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Avoiding conflict feels safe — until it quietly erodes your boundaries.
In this episode, we unpack the real reasons you hold back at work: fear of judgment, childhood conditioning, and survival strategies that once protected you. We’ll look at how avoidance often makes things worse — and how to start handling conflict without shutting down or lashing out.
