The Awakened Avoidant
Welcome to The Awakened Avoidant, a podcast that's here to help you untangle the threads of your past and pave the way for a brighter future.
At The Awakened Avoidant, we recognize that unresolved trauma can manifest differently for males and females and many of us carry the weight of these experiences, often without even realizing it.
Throughout this podcast we'll be sharing real stories from real people like yourself who have walked the path of healing and growth. You'll hear firsthand accounts of how unresolved childhood issues have affected their lives.
These stories are a testament to the fact that healing is possible, no matter where you are in your journey. And we'll be here to guide you every step of the way.
