Every time you avoid something that scares you, your brain logs it as genuinely dangerous. The avoidance brings temporary relief but long-term amplification. The door gets smaller the longer you don't open it. Gradual exposure — not forced bravery — is how fear actually shrinks. Start with the smallest version of the thing you're avoiding.
The point
Avoidance teaches your brain that the fear is real — gradual exposure is how it actually shrinks.
