The Secret Cause of Avoidance

How to find what’s keeping you stuck

The magic wand tool at work. Watch the video to find out more!

In the previous post in this series, we dug into the example of my client Miguel, who was trying and failing to show up the way he wanted to for investor pitches. In video #1, I showed why Miguel’s own explanation for this failure — Generalised Personal Badness — was actually getting in the way of solving his avoidance problem.

In video #2 below, I’m going to share the second part of Miguel’s story. I’ll take you through our hunt for the real reason for his avoidance, by zeroing in on what I call emotional prediction.

Emotional prediction is the secret driver of what we do and especially what we don’t do. It’s the missing culprit at the heart of the baffling mystery of persistent avoidance. Emotional prediction is how we get from a perfectly good plan for the day to arriving at 5 p.m. with 0% of that plan executed.

In this video, you’ll see how Miguel and I located the emotional prediction that was keeping him from showing up to meetings fully prepped and at the top of his game.
