We have witnessed a notable shift towards an aversion to pain at both the individual and societal levels.

 

 In our quest for comfort and security, we often find ourselves navigating paths that steer clear of discomfort, challenges, and potential sources of adversity. 

 

This trend towards pain avoidance, if allowed to persist unchecked, carries the risk of impeding our authentic development as a society.

 

In Episode 31, hosts Adrian and Bri discuss the the symptoms of pain avoidance, the risks associated, and the nuances between.

 

• Gen Z has learned to live with apps that seem to ‘hack’ life 

• “How do I get through things with the least amount of pain possible?”

• We will miss out on things if we avoid hard times

• Why walking through the process is more important than the destination

• How ‘efficiency’ is as dangerous as it is helpful

• Wisdom is ‘applied knowledge’

• We are entering a period of a lack of wisdom

• Why therapy is only the beginning of your emotional health journey

• Unraveling our coping mechanisms from our pain points
