About this listen

Most of us don’t choose the masks we wear—we build them to survive. But the longer we hide behind avoidance, the more disconnected we feel. In Avoidance Is Suicide, Anthoula Poulakos, PhD, offers a clear and compassionate path out of denial and shame—so you can stop negotiating with pain, meet it without self-abandonment, and come home to your truest self.

  • Understand the avoidance loop—why we overwork, overthink, or go numb
  • Transform shame into agency with language that restores dignity
  • Rebuild self-esteem from integrity, not performance
  • Connect with your inner knowing without guilt or people-pleasing
  • Revisit coping habits with practical tools for stress and emotional overload

A candid, compassionate companion for adults healing from relational wounds and ready to live from their core.
