Britt Frank is a licensed psychotherapist and trauma expert. She received her bachelor's from Duke and her Master's of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Britt is also the author of the book, The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia to Find Your Path Forward This is her second time on the podcast and today we are going to discuss many of the themes of her work but we are also going to chat about Britt’s incredible story. She struggled for more than two decades with relationships, chemical/behavioral addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, and complex PTSD. After finding her way out of that mess (with a lot of help and a brief stint in a religious cult), Britt changed careers, went back to graduate school, and became a therapist.
Today on the show we discuss: why you can't manifest what you want if you haven't worked on yourself, how to finally end your negative self talk, why positive affirmations don't always work, the real reason you may be "stuck" and what you can do about it, why small wins are so crucial for changing your life, why Britt feels you need to be aligned to be successful and much more.
