Avoidance Definition

Avoidance is defined as any behavior that is used to prevent or escape from a feared stimulus. This can include avoiding people, places, things, or situations that trigger anxiety or other negative emotions. Avoidance can be helpful in the short-term, but it can become a problem if it starts to interfere with your life.
