I avoid what makes me anxious but analyze: is avoidance making it worse? Map my avoidance: situations avoided, temporary relief, growing fear. Calculate: short-term relief vs. long-term anxiety increase vs. shrinking comfort zone. Show me the avoidance trap: every avoidance strengthens fear. Give me the truth: avoidance feels safe, makes anxiety worse. Include: whether avoidance is reinforcing anxiety, what I'm avoiding that's getting worse, and how exposure would actually help.
