About This Session
This session explores demand avoidance as a natural, anxiety-driven response rather than a behavioural choice. It examines how anyone can express demand avoidance at times in life, and what to do if it's become more of a persistent struggle. This means exploring what counts as a demand, and why they can feel overwhelming at various life stages.
Learning Outcomes
