Avoidance- FACE

FACE: OVERCOMING AVOIDANCE

Avoidance can reduce distress immediately, which makes it very understandable and very easy for the pattern to strengthen.

The FACE model explores Feelings, Actions, Consequences and a way to Escape the loop through one manageable approach step.

The worksheet validates short-term relief while making room to notice longer-term costs such as reduced confidence, opportunity or connection.

Choose a small, values-led step and adapt it to your needs. The purpose is not to force yourself through genuine danger or overwhelm.

With warmth,
