Episode notes

i want to talk about a word that i've never talked about on this show, and i've always wanted to make a show about it. We procrastinate not because we're sabotaging ourselves, but it's a sub optimal effort at self protection from a variety of things. I ask people, like a good therapiasimon, tell yourself at the end of the day, what are ten lies that you told, either to yourself or to other people? And it's not a shame thing. It's not like going out in such a terrible person. You can only be fully honest so many days in a row before you get tired of your own craft. Ike, don't spit

Feeling stuck? Can't build momentum to escape all the loops keeping you from moving forward? Our guest in this episode is professor, author, therapist, and speaker Britt Frank, a trauma specialist who treats people with a unique and powerful set of techniques and approaches which, taken together, helps clients to get out of the feeling of being STUCK.

In the show, we nerd out with Britt about how hard it is to be a person, and though this interview is supposed to be about her new book - "The Science of Stuck, Breaking Through Inertia to Find your Path Forward - at least of half of this interview turned out to be was wide-ranging conversation chasing down many nested tangents about everything from procrastination to somatic markers to trauma to the multitudes of the self and more.
