It would be dangerously misleading to assume that "learning from what you're avoiding the most" is as simple as making a long list of things that we've been avoiding, and stopping avoiding those things. It's not the case.

Episode 8 of 'Written, Spoken' downloads a four-step process for understanding if what you're avoiding really deserves deeper examination, questioning, analysis, or confronting.
