> You seem comfortable placing responsibility for the illness on your patients “avoidance”.

You are misunderstanding this. Subconscious avoidance is not about responsibility. Think of the way rabies makes people hydrophobic. That is a psychosomatic response. A person is not in firm "control" of these responses, although they sometimes can be addressed with therapy.

Yes sorry about that.

Avoidance is a part of healing.

If the body is not healing therapy won’t help it.
