Using the Blind Spot Model to Stop Avoidance   Juan asks whether listeners are allowing themselves to heal, using his own recent ankle injury and past back nerve pinch as examples of how avoiding discomfort can stall recovery even when life stays busy with work and family. He connects physical healing to emotional and relational healing through his \u201cBS model,\u201d describing avoidant coping (the \u201cred\u201d area) as common when tired or in pain, and \u201cintentional presence\u201d (the \u201cblue\u201d area) as necessary for healing even though it can be uncomfortable. He notes how unaddressed pain affects workouts, sleep, and progress, and argues that people often cope with pain through distractions rather than dealing with it directly, similar to avoiding therapy. He closes by linking avoidance to shame and urging listeners to pause and identify where they haven\u2019t fully healed\u2014physically, professionally, or in relationships\u2014and decide if it\u2019s worth addressing.   00:00 Are You Healing 01:27 Injury and Avoidance 02:04 Ankle Wake Up Call 03:16 Avoidant Coping Loop 03:53 Returning to Training 05:12 Get Help to Heal 05:44 Nerve Injury Lesson 06:29 Intentional Presence 07:59 Why We Resist Healing 08:37 Shame and Awareness 09:38 Let Yourself Heal 09:56 Final Reflection   ","author_name":"Career Blindspot","author_url":"https:\/\/careerblindspot.com","html":"
