Procrastination

Turning away from a task, arising not from laziness but from the unpleasant feeling the task triggers.

Term

How it shows up

You put off whatever triggers anxiety, boredom or fear of being judged. The turning away brings immediate relief, and with that the pattern hardens — a little more each time.

What we do with it in therapy

The question isn’t how to force yourself, but which feeling you’re avoiding. Once it has a name, the first step is often surprisingly small.

Does some of this sound familiar?

An explanation is one thing, the experience another. If you'd like to talk it through with someone, write to me.

Write to me How therapy works
This is what insomnia taught me. What has it taught you? Traumatic experiences can leave you weakened — on recovery and strength. On the worries that drain our energy. On why differentiation matters in relationships. Self-confidence starts with self-awareness. On how hard it is to start — and harder still to keep going.
