Episode notes

We get stuck there and yeah we set up camp and we build monuments to our issues. We don't all experience our stuckness to the same degree but I define stuck is are you making choices in the direction that you want to be. So if you say and again I take psych meds and I've had clinical depression I get it you take the meds meds are great, but if I say my problem is depression, no it's not depression is my symptom that is pointing toward an unmet need or an untended to injury or whatever so when we call our symptoms the problem we get stuck there.

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 unique and powerful techniques and approaches which help 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.
Bringing together research-backed solutions that range from shadow work to reparenting, embodied healing, and other clinical practices, along with empowering personal stories, this book is a hands-on road map for moving forward with purpose, confidence, and the freedom to become who you’re truly meant to be.
