In this episode of the Mr. and Mrs. Therapy podcast, the hosts delve into the often confusing distinction between true healing and mere avoidance, especially following a traumatic experience.

Key differences between healthy boundaries and avoidance behaviors are outlined, and the importance of self-reflection, clear communication, and emotional presence is emphasized.
