Ep. 49 - Q&A Series: “Why Do I Keep Procrastinating? Understanding Avoidance and Getting Unstuck”
Tue Oct 21 2025
When we procrastinate, it’s not about laziness—it’s about how our brains handle discomfort, boredom, and overwhelm. In this Q&A episode of The Therapy Podcast, we break down why everyday tasks feel impossible, the emotional and neurological reasons behind procrastination, and why self-blame actually makes it worse. You’ll learn practical strategies to start small, build momentum, and work with your brain instead of against it.
Plus, discover why procrastination isn’t all bad—it’s a signal, and with the right tools, it can guide you toward better motivation and self-compassion.
