Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine avoidance behaviors observed in a client with an introverted personality structure within the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The study is based on a case report conducted with a 20-year-old female client. The client sought help due to difficulties in family communication, challenges in self expression, and a tendency to avoid conflict. The therapy process was structured in accordance with the CBT approach; psychoeducation was provided, and the cognitive processes maintaining avoidance behaviors were addressed. The sessions, totaling eight, were conducted weekly and each lasted approximately 60 minutes. Throughout the process, cognitive restructuring and behavioral techniques were employed. As a result of the sessions, a decrease in the client’s avoidance behaviors, an increase in emotional awareness, and improvements in interpersonal communication were observed. The findings support the effectiveness of CBT in reducing avoidance behaviors associated with an introverted personality structure.
