Sleeping From Sorrow - Why Avoidance Feels Like Relief
About this episode
Tim Holloway and Josh Price discuss how avoidance manifests in men's lives and provide insights on confronting underlying issues.
The way out of avoidance is not more willpower - it's waking up to what you're really running from. Tim Holloway and Josh Price expose how sleep, sorrow, and spiritual numbness can look like discipline, devotion, or "being busy," while quietly keeping you stuck. Tim opens with the questions most men avoid answering: the hard conversation you're postponing, the work you're hiding in, the promises you've broken to yourself, and the grief you're numbing instead of facing. Josh takes it further with a sharp framework for spotting avoidance in real time, from aloof withdrawal to the interrogator mode that attacks ideas to protect beliefs.
