Episode notes

We are experts at lying to ourselves about ourselves. New year's resolutions are the best example of this. There is a benefit to even the most sub optimal behavior, or we wouldn't do it. But it's so much easier to just go straight through by doing this and saying it, than avoiding it. We get stuck because we're not being honest with ourselves, about ourselves.

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.
