Anxiety is physiology with no known origin. You can't intervene on something that doesn't have an origin point. Anxious about work is just, I know this person is feeling uncomfortable body sensations but there's no definable origin. So then how do we distill the fear down into a worry? The worry is I'm worried I won't have enough content. Like that we can do something about. And once you distill that worry down into solvable problems may not solve the whole thing, but it's going to dial down that quote anxiety from a 10 to a four. Hmm. Well, let's get into the concepts of getting unstuck.

In this episode of the Unmistakable Creative Podcast, we delve into a profound conversation with Britt Frank, a renowned therapist, teacher, and speaker. Britt's unique insights into the nature of trauma and anxiety provide listeners with a fresh perspective on these complex issues. She explains that trauma is not merely the result of horrific events but can stem from any experience that our brain fails to process, leading to emotional and sometimes physical symptoms.

Britt also discusses the concept of 'trauma-inducing events,' which are seemingly ordinary situations that can trigger traumatic responses in those with unresolved issues. This enlightening discussion challenges conventional wisdom and encourages us to reevaluate our understanding of trauma and anxiety.

Furthermore, Britt explores the intriguing concept of hidden rewards in our behaviors. She posits that all behaviors, even those we view as suboptimal, serve a functional purpose and offer hidden rewards. By acknowledging these rewards, we can begin to understand our actions better and make meaningful changes.
